Paint rollers and brushes

    How do I dispose of paint rollers and brushes that were not cleaned after use?

    Looking it up online shows me a US webpage that it general household waste but I don’t think that it is - a further search just brings up how to dispose of paint.

    And rollers and brushes don’t show as either acceptable or unacceptable on any recycling centre website I check.

    Regular paint.

    Thank you for the information. The centres I looked up only listed but if they take the brushes and sleeve too that is ideal.

    Waste companies don’t allow paint in a skip so I thought the same would apply to anything with paint on it.

    If it's water based paint them it will still wash off, even if dry.
