New Environment Agency
New rules enforced by the Environment Agency mean that from April 1st 2009, residents will not be able to put plasterboard in the general waste bin at their nearest household recycling centre (HRC).
Plasterboard and other gypsum-based products have been found to produce toxic gases when they are buried with biodegradable waste such as food so this material now needs to be collected and disposed of separately.
However, plasterboard and other gypsum-based products remain perfectly safe to handle.
Re-processing
Plasterboard collected for recycling is sent to Mid UK Recycling LTD based in West Lincolnshire for reprocessing.
