Builders, plasterers and fit-out contractors across London trust Any London Waste to handle their plasterboard waste compliantly. Improper disposal of gypsum carries heavy fines from the Environment Agency, so working with a licensed specialist protects your business and your reputation.

We provide regular scheduled collections for ongoing projects as well as one-off clearances for smaller jobs. Our flexible service accommodates early-morning and late-evening pick-ups to match your site hours, and we supply full documentation including Waste Transfer Notes and recycling certificates for your compliance records.

Many London builders discover that plasterboard cannot be mixed with general waste in a standard skip – it must be segregated, which often means hiring a separate container at additional cost.

Our on-demand collection service removes plasterboard directly from your site without the need for skip permits, road closures or long-term container hire. You only pay for what we collect, making it a more economical option for small-to-medium renovation projects, office fit-outs and residential extensions across London.

At specialist recycling facilities, plasterboard is processed by separating the gypsum core from the paper lining. The recovered gypsum is used to manufacture new plasterboard or as an agricultural soil conditioner, whilst the paper is recycled into new paper products.

This closed-loop process means your construction waste becomes a valuable resource rather than a disposal problem. By choosing Any London Waste, you support London's circular economy and help reduce demand for newly mined gypsum.

Plasterboard Disposal FAQ

Since 2007, UK law prohibits plasterboard disposal in landfills because gypsum produces hydrogen sulphide gas when mixed with organic waste, creating toxic and potentially explosive conditions. This environmental regulation requires specialist recycling facilities, making professional disposal essential for construction and renovation projects across London.
