The responsible way to dispose of unwanted paint and packaging.
George Town Council is proud to work with Paintback, the national paint collection scheme receives unwanted paint (both water and oil-based) and paint packaging at over 165 permanent Australian collection sites, including our own George Town Waste Transfer Station and ensures it is disposed of safely or repurposed for other industrial uses.
This significantly reduces landfill and ensures the waste paint doesn’t end up in our waterways. The packaging and waste liquid are separated with the containers being recycled, subject to contamination.
Visit the George Town Waste Transfer Station after your next paint job and drop off your leftover or unwanted paint and packaging - it’s free to drop off.
