Paintbrush cleaning station made from site waste material

Workers on an ISG site have made an on-site designated paintbrush cleaning station by reusing site waste materials.

They used a wheelie bin as the main container. Electrical basket offcuts served as a draining shelf to keep painters’ equipment on.

Waste insulation made up the filtration layer, to absorb paint and allow cleaning water to pass through.

Spare drainage ducting and pipework formed the wastewater outlet.

The paintbrush cleaning station is ideal for cleaning all on-site brushes, rollers and tins, with all wastewater filtered through the insulation layer. This prevents contaminated and wastewater from entering the public water systems.
