More than six litres of household paint is sold each year for each and
every person here. That's a lot of paint particularly as much of it
is left sitting in paint containers and ends up in landfills. There
are lots of ways you can reduce this burden on the environment... here's
some ideas to get you started:
Be PaintWise!
Bring unwanted paint and paint containers into your local Resene ColorShop
and let us recycle or dispose of them responsibly. Resene will offer
good quality Resene paint to community groups for reuse, recycle packaging
materials that are recyclable, send solventborne paints to solvent recovery,
find alternative uses for waterborne paints, such as graffiti abatement,
and dispose of the rest for you.
Selected Resene ColorShops have been designated as Resene PaintWise
Collection Centres. Drop off your unwanted paint and paint containers
to any of these designated Resene ColorShops at any time during their
opening hours.
You are welcome to bring back any brand of decorative paint.
A small charge applies to non-Resene branded product and trade returns
to help offset the costs of the PaintWise programme ($1 per 4L can or
smaller, $2.50 per 10L pail or larger). Sorry, we are unable to accept
automotive and marine paints.

Due to safety requirements, paint and paint containers will only be
accepted at these Resene ColorShops during normal store hours. Sorry,
paint and packaging returns cannot be accepted by any other ColorShops.
When dropping off paint and paint containers:
- Ensure paint is in its original correctly labelled container.
- Ensure containers are well sealed and will not leak.
- Leave small amounts of waterborne paint in its container, put out
of reach of children and leave the lid off for the paint to dry then
bring it in to one of the Resene ColorShops detailed above.
We cannot accept: Paint thinners, solvents, aerosols or any other materials
- dispose of these at a HazMobile
collection or contact your local council for recommended disposal.
The Resene PaintWise programme is managed by the Resene Foundation,
a charitable trust underwritten by Resene. The ongoing service is funded
by Resene, a PaintWise levy of 15c per litre on retail purchases on
Resene paints and a levy on returns of non-Resene branded paint and
trade returns.
Our thanks go to Adshel for supporting Resene PaintWise with bus shelter advertising.
