Plasterboard Waste Disposal: The Ultimate Guide
Legitimate plasterboard disposal is not just a necessity, it’s a legal requirement.
Whether you’re a homeowner undertaking a DIY project or a construction company handling a large-scale renovation, understanding your options for disposing of plasterboard responsibly is crucial.
Plasterboard Waste Disposal Regulations
Prior to 2009, construction waste containing plasterboard could be disposed of into landfill as long as the plasterboard components were less than 10% of the total construction material waste, thus most local Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) previously excepted it on mass.
That rule has now changed, and all plasterboard must now be disposed of separately to maximise recovery and recycling to avoid environmental damage and health hazards. Subsequently, making Skip Hire the best solution for plasterboard waste disposal.
