Plasterboard
You can take plaster and plasterboard to a waste transfer facility listed below.
If you have hired someone to remove the plasterboard
If you have hired someone to remove the plasterboard for you, it can’t be disposed of at any of our sites because this is classed as business waste. The tradesperson or builder should dispose the plasterboard for you.
If you have removed plasterboard from your own home
Take it to one of the waste transfer facilities listed below by using the entrance where council and high-sided vehicles go.
