Varnish

Varnish that could be reused can be taken to any of north London's reuse and recycling centres (opens in new window), but not Hornsey Street Reuse and Recycling centre. This scheme is part of the Community Repaint (opens in new window) reuse scheme. The leftover paint/varnish is also available for residents to take away for free from these sites.

If the product is too old to be reused, there are ways to dispose of it:

Oil-based paint (gloss) or varnish

• If you live in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Islington or Waltham Forest, use the free City of London Hazardous Waste Service (opens in new window).
