Paints,Solvents & Adhesives Collection- Services by AA Waste in the UK

UK-Wide (Exc. NI), Based in The North West

AA Waste provides a comprehensive UK national collection and disposal service for all types of paint from our bases in the North of England. Our services cater to companies and authorities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We prioritise recycling routes over landfill to minimise environmental impact, and our business partners help us achieve this goal.

Types of Paint We Collect and Dispose

We collect and dispose of gloss, emulsion, acrylic, body shop (vehicle repair) paints, thinners, and many other types of paint. It is important to note that paint comes in different forms, some of which are classed as hazardous waste because of the chemicals within the product, while others are water-based and, therefore, non-hazardous. Hazardous types must be segregated from your general waste stream for specialist disposal. Our disposal and recycling service complies with the EA Hazardous Rules and Regulations 2016.
