Oldham paint shop sells recycled paint from £3
The Renew Paint Shop at Arkwright Street Recycling Centre in Oldham sells recycled water-based paint for a minimum £3 donation. Since opening in November 2024, it has distributed 5,710 litres of paint. The shop, open daily from 9.30am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 6pm, accepts leftover paint donations and is part of a joint venture between Recycle for Greater Manchester and SUEZ. Councillor Elaine Taylor said the scheme benefits both residents' pockets and the planet. Funds raised support the Greater Manchester Mayor's Charity and Renew Community Fund.
