Anyone know how/where you can safely/legally dispose of half-empty tins of paint in the Sunderland area? Thanks in advance.

Become the Sunderland Banksy.
There must be loads of gable ends to use it up on.

Is correct. It seems even nuclear waste can go in the general skip.

Could you not dispose of it in very thin layers on your own walls?

Fill them with nails and explosives.

Thanks for the replies. I was unsure whether the tip would accept them but will give it a try.

You're not becoming an artist then, ah well.

Council tip. My local tip at Shotton said I needed a permit off the council then take it to Horden to be properly disposed of. Done all that... Turned up at Horden, showed them my permit and the fella said "park up just next to that bay"... Here's me thinking it's the special paint bay.... Fella just lobbed it in the general waste lol

Just emptying the garage and there’s loads of tins I need to get rid of. Some of the colours aren’t even on any of the walls in this house. Got a massive tub of Tudor black fence paint if anyone wants it like.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Take the lids off. Let them dry out and you’re allowed to put them in your green bin

A half empty tin of paint would take a decade to dry out with the lid off.

The bin people round my way regularly open every pot, every tin and every packet I put in my bin to check its content.

Not sure if I'm making this up but isn't filling them with soil a thing too?

Sad isn't it.
