Plasterboard – Policy
Change
From the 1st April 2009 licensing legislation
changed, meaning that Gypsum Plasterboard is no longer permitted to
be mixed with other wastes and land filled. As such we have revised
the way this material is handled at the Household Waste Recycling
Centres for the public for the disposal of Plasterboard.
Plasterboard can now only be accepted in limited quantities
(2 bags per day as per our existing policy on Construction and
Demolition waste) at the following Household Waste Recycling
Centres:-
· Bury St. Edmunds HWRC , Rougham Hill Bury St. Edmunds
· Lowestoft HWRC, Hadenham Road, Lowestoft
· Foxhall HWRC, Foxhall Road Brightwell, Ipswich
No other Suffolk Household Waste Recycling Centres will accept
this waste stream. In line with our current policy on dealing with
waste from the fabric of the property, we are recommending that
anyone with more than 2 bags of this type of waste contact a
licensed contractor - details of these can be found in the yellow
pages.
Most of the local skip hire contractors can arrange disposal of
plasterboard.
