What to do with old paint tins

Regardless of whether you see summer weekends as prime DIY or prime drink-yourself-silly opportunities, the odds are you've got some half-used paint tins sitting under the kitchen sink/stairs. So here's what to do with them. Instead of chucking them in the bin or pretending you'll use them in 2015, give them to someone else via Community Re>Paint.  The site lists the details of scores of Re>Paint groups across the UK - from individuals and charities to local authorities - who'd like to use your paint. If you're feeling particularly industrious, you could even take it to the next level and setup your own group.
