How to Dispose of Plasterboard in London
Why plasterboard can’t go in a skip with everything else, which London tips accept it, what collection costs, and how to handle board in a pre-2000 property.

Managing waste on a live site is a different job from having a load taken away. You need materials separated at source, containers that get swapped before they overflow, and paperwork that stands up when the client or the principal contractor asks for it. That is what this service covers across all 32 London boroughs.
We set up the streams that actually pay off on a build: inert material (concrete, brick, hardcore) kept clean so it can be crushed and reused rather than tipped; timber, metal and packaging separated for recycling; plasterboard held apart because gypsum cannot legally go to landfill mixed with biodegradable waste. Everything else goes as mixed construction waste. Keeping the inert stream clean is usually the single biggest saving on a project – contaminated rubble is charged as general waste.
Every collection comes back with a waste transfer note, and we report tonnages and recovery rates per stream so you can evidence diversion from landfill in your own reporting. As a licensed carrier we hold the duty-of-care chain for you, but the producer’s duty stays with the site – keeping those notes for two years is part of it, and we make that easy rather than leaving you chasing paperwork at handover.
If your project is short or you simply need debris gone, that is a different job – see builders waste removal in London for one-off and on-demand collections.

Different jobs need different set-ups. A kitchen rip-out is not a long-running site, and a tonne of broken concrete is not the same problem as a stack of plasterboard. Pick the one that matches your project – or call us on 08 00 599 99 96 and we’ll tell you which it is.
