1. A collecting device for collecting fluid media which arise when rinsing an atomizer in a painting installation, with
a) a collecting container having a top and a bottom,
b) an insertion opening at the top of the collecting container, the insert opening for inserting the atomizer into the collecting container, and
c) a lateral container wall which externally bounds the collecting container in order to prevent paint from escaping from the collecting container, the lateral container wall of the collecting container being at least partially permeable to air in order to allow moist air to escape from the interior of the collecting container to the outside,
d) an outlet at the bottom to drain at least one of the paint and rinsing agent from the collecting container, and
e) a paint filter in the container wall adapted for retaining the paint and thereby preventing the paint from escaping from the collecting container to the outside,
f) wherein the paint filter is arranged in the flow path between the insertion opening and the outlet, so that the paint filter must be passed through when flowing into the outlet.
