Paint exchange

Paint Exchange is an exciting scheme exclusive to a number of Johnstone’s Decorating Centres that allows you to bring back unused paint, of ANY brand, and we will recycle both the can, and the product, free of charge!

Did you know 55m litres of paint end up in landfill every year?

The environment is a core consideration to us throughout our manufacturing, sourcing and distribution processes all the way through to the end use. We enjoy seeing our customer use our products in sustainable projects, so if you’re stuck with leftover paint and don’t want it to end up in landfill, our Paint Exchange stores will recycle and reuse the paint and packaging.
