Paint
Reusable paint can be donated to
Perth RePaint Project. For paint not
suitable for reuse please follow the following advice-
Please let the paint harden and put it in the green-lidded waste
bin or the general waste skip at a
Recycling Centre once it is no longer
liquid.
1) You can buy a paint hardener: One packet contains enough
crystals to harden 2.5 liters of water based or latex paint. It is
easy to use, works in minutes and is not toxic.
2) Add sawdust, sand or soil to the tin and leave the lid off
until the paint becomes solid and dry (please pierce the dried
paint before disposing of it to ensure it's fully hardened).
3) Leave the lid off the tin to allow for ease of inspection.
If the lid is metal and well cleaned, it can be disposed of at
the kerbside in the blue-lidded bin or in the scrap metal skip at
Recycling Centres.
Bricks, soil and rubble
All of these
inert materials can all be placed
in the inert skips at all of our
Recycling Centres with the exception of
Bankfoot Recycling Centre.
Timber
Smaller sizes of
timber can be placed in the
brown-lidded bin. A roungh guide would be no longer than 3 foot and
no wider than your wrist. For larger pieces of timber, please
recycle using the timber skips at all
Recycling Centres with the exception of
Bankfoot Recycling Centre.
