If you are
going to Ipswich in the next week or so, you can take advantage of a ‘Paint Amnesty’.
‘Kick out the Can’, an initiative which
gives householders the chance to clear their sheds, garages and cupboards of
unwanted paint, is making a welcome return to Suffolk this Spring.
Left over
paint can be hard to get rid of. It
should not be disposed of in your black bin and is not welcomed by recycling
centres. Information on the Green
Suffolk website HERE, which gives advice on what to do with a range of different
unwanted items, is actually
silent on what you do if you find yourself with more than a quarter of a can to
dispose of. I fear that some are reduced
to gradually secreting the offending pots into the black bin over time and
hoping for the best.
From March 21st to April 18th, Suffolk residents are invited to
take surplus paint to their local Crown Decorating Centre in Trinity Street,
Ipswich, for recycling. Up to 10 pots are welcomed. For more information, including how the initiative is
supporting local charity, click HERE.
