Proper disposal of excess & waste product

  • If you can’t use your leftover paint give it to someone who can. Consider giving your paint to friends and neighbours or local community groups such as Scouts or charity groups undertaking community work.
  • Residual small amounts of leftover paint on brushes and rollers should be wiped onto old newspaper and allowed to dry rather than being washed down the sink.
  • Residual paint in the pail should be allowed to dry before disposal. Dried paint films should be disposed of in normal rubbish bins.
  • Dried EcoStyle paint has very poor adhesion to the plastic pails it is sold in, so dried paint in the pail can normally be peeled off and the pail can be used for another use such as storing fishing tackle or garden tools. The pails are also approved for recycling by most municipal councils in Australia.
  • Eco Style Paint is suitable for disposal through the RA Industries Reclaimer Portable Paint Wash Recycling System.
