Litotes Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Is there anywhere you can get rid of old paint that isn't even worth passing onto charities for work? Still liquid, but no good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I took some to Shirecliff tip the other week and was told to just put it in general waste, which surprised me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took some paint and other stuff which is usually put separate for recycling but was told to put them all in the general waste skip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably all get burnt in the incinerator like most general waste so not much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litotes Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Went to the tip - "just throw it in with the general waste". God know what it is doing to the groundwater... Nice to know our Vile-ola money is being used well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why as it will just get burnt as that's what the incinerator does to most general waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say that on their website? https://www.veolia.co.uk/sheffield/hwrc-what-happens-waste And isn't that even worse? All those pollutant and carcinogens going up the chimney??? And what about the fly ash left behind - what do they do with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
