At Derryconnell Civic Amenity Site and Clonakilty Waste recycling Centre the public can put their discarded water based paint in a bin for upcycling.
We segregate and collect these pots. Pots with usable water based paint are consolidated with other water based paint of a similar colour. After mixing and sieving, this water based paint will then be repotted and given another life!
Freshly remixed water based paint is sold from our workshop.
It promotes the
