Dulux wants your leftover paint – its paint redistribution service is the easiest way to donate unfinished tins to a good cause

Box of opened and used paint cans.

I don’t know about you, but I definitely have a couple of tins of unfinished paint knocking about at home which I’m saving for that ‘just in case’ scenario (one that will likely never happen) – and I’d be willing to bet that you do, too. But the Community RePaint service sponsored by Dulux has the answer – a paint redistribution scheme that donates your unfinished paint tins to community centres, families and individuals all across the country.

Who doesn’t love an easy DIY project?! And paint is the perfect DIY tool to give your home an update and a refresh, even if you’re a beginner. But most painting jobs result in some leftover paint as Dulux’s research has revealed that 50 million litres of paint go to waste every year in the UK and 23% of Brits admitting they don’t do anything with leftover paint.
