Local Paint Disposal
Complete this survey to help the Mansfield Shire Council collect community data to provide Paintback a reason why Mansfield Shire should have a disposal solution locally.
Originally designed to divert unwanted paint and packaging from ending up in landfill, the Paintback not-for-profit organisation was established in 2016 by founding members Dulux, Haymes, Resene and Wattyl.
The Paintback scheme adds a levy charge of 15 cents per litre to eligible products. This levy assists with the removal and disposal of unwanted paint products including the containers.
Paintback is nationwide and offers drop off locations across each state. The nearest Paintback drop off locations for Mansfield Shire are located:
1. Wangaratta. 1.5 hours
2. Shepparton 1.5 hours
3. Heathcote 2 hours
4. Coldstream 2 hours
With ongoing population growth expected to continue in Mansfield Shire and 3900 new homes mandated by the state government, more paint is expected to be used in the shire with no solution to dispose of unwanted or left over paint.
Considering our local suppliers are being charged a levy fee per litre, Mansfield Shire needs a better solution for the disposal of paint. Having its own Paintback disposal location is the best outcome for our community.
Please complete this survey to help the Mansfield Shire Council collect community data to provide Paintback a reason why Mansfield should have a local disposal solution.
