Dulux and Resene paint shops in Auckland run paint recycling product stewardship schemes and will take back half used paint cans. The general public can also drop off paint for no charge to the Waitakere Refuse centre. Many community groups and theatre groups may also be interested in paint – so it can be worth advertising locally to see if you can find a home for them. Paint is horribly toxic in landfill so never throw it into your landfill bin or the tip.
