Can I recycle it?
Plasterboard is not collected as part of your recycling or rubbish collection.
Plasterboard can be taken to some of our Household Waste and Recycling Centres. A free allowance limit is in place for this waste stream and a charge may apply.

Commercial building materials should not enter Household Waste and Recycling Centres. If you own a business, you are responsible for arranging your own collections through a registered contractor.
