Paint - Donate it, don't dump it!
Re-use of paint: It is always difficult to judge how much paint we will need to paint the walls in our house.
It is a good idea to keep a spare pot of your wall colour for future touch-ups but, if you have too much left over, or, if you have changed the colours of your walls, the pots of paint should not be wasted by throwing them away. The best option for this paint would be to donate it to one of the organisations that will take it and find a sector in the community that can use it to the benefit of local or further reaching societies.
Description: Paint that is still usable for painting walls etc is accepted in a various districts in Essex.
