Painter

We collect ➔ We purify ➔ You stay compliant

How does the service work?

Include a 2% recycling contribution for CWG in your quote. 

We advise painters to apply a 2% disposal fee.

Pouring paint rinse water down the drain? That’s illegal.
When you explain it properly, small fee, big impact, customers get it and respect it.

Keep it clean. Store it smart.

Rinse water? Dump it in your empty paint bucket, not down the drain.

Same goes for rollers and brushes: no tap, just bucket. Keep everything soaked and bring it to your CWG Deposit Point.

Simple. Legal. Respectful.

Does it cost? Yep, €8 per 10 liters. 

 But here’s the smart move: tack on a 2% environmental fee to your customer’s quote.

That way, you stay fully compliant, covered, and legit.

Bonus: you get a CWG certificate showing you mean business, both for your work and the planet.

Done painting? Bring your rinse water to a CWG collection point. 

Got buckets full of paint rinse water? Drop them off at your nearest Clean Water Global deposit point.

Use the CWG APP to check in, pay, and you’re done, easy as that. Oh, and your certificate? Automatically in your pocket. No hassle.

Pick-up by Clean Water Global. We take care of your paint rinse water, no hassle.

Empty PE buckets? They don’t get tossed. We send them to Fire-Off, our trusted recycler, who turns them into brand-new plastic buckets.

Less waste. More reuse. All handled like pros.
