Lincolnshire County Council is taking recycling and community support to a new level with its innovative Community RePaint scheme. This fantastic initiative offers good-quality leftover paint—free of charge—to residents and community groups across the county.
Whether you’re looking to spruce up your garden fence, brighten a local community space, or tackle that long-overdue DIY project, this program is a brilliant way to give new life to perfectly usable paint that would otherwise go to waste.
How It Works
Reusing paint is simple and hassle-free:
- Speak to a staff member at the collection site.
- Choose your paint (and don’t worry—there’s a great selection!).
- Sign the log sheet after reading the straightforward disclaimer.
And just like that, you’re ready to go! This service is free, ensuring everyone in Lincolnshire can benefit from it.
Why It’s Brilliant
The Community RePaint scheme ticks all the boxes:
- Environmentally Friendly: We reduce waste and landfills by giving unused paint a second life.
- Cost-Effective for Families: Free paint means more money in your pocket for other essentials.
- Supporting Community Spirit: Local groups can use this paint to improve public spaces, making our communities more vibrant and welcoming.
Councillor Daniel McNally, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council, said, “This scheme is an excellent example of how we can combine sustainability with real, tangible benefits for residents and communities.”
Join the Movement
The paint is available at designated recycling centres across Lincolnshire, and it’s already proving popular. So why not get involved? Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or part of a local group looking to refresh a shared space, this is your chance to make a difference.
Let’s work together to create a brighter, more colourful Lincolnshire while protecting our planet.
This pilot project starts in Grantham, but we plan to roll it out across the county.
This is more than paint—it’s a community effort to build a sustainable, greener future. 🌍 🎨
