Paint stripper disposal for restoration, refurbishment and surface preparation work.
Paint Strippers And Removal Residues Disposal Service
Paint strippers work by breaking down old coatings, and the result is a mix of chemical remover and softened paint. Depending on the product, this can be caustic, solvent based or both, so the product name matters a great deal.
We assess stripper waste case by case. Send us the product name or safety data sheet, and tell us what the stripped surface was, as older coatings may need extra checks before collection.

Why Paint Stripper Waste Must Be Disposed Of Professionally
Paint stripper waste combines aggressive chemicals with the old coating being removed, so both parts need considering.
Accepted formulations and mixtures are specified case by case. Share the product name or SDS.
- 01Many strippers are corrosive or contain strong solvents.
- 02Removed coatings may contain lead or other hazardous substances.

Recycling
Can You Recycle Paint Strippers And Removal Residues?
Partly. Where the stripper is solvent based, the solvent content can often be recovered. Removal residues and paint flakes mixed with stripper are harder to recycle and usually go for treatment. Share the product name or safety data sheet and we will confirm the route.
