Your Waste:Â PlasterboardÂÂ
Plasterboard Recycling is now been extended toÂ7 of Wiltshire's HRC'sResidents of Wiltshire can now take their waste plasterboard products to 7 HRC's in Wiltshire.  New seperate containers have been installed at the following HRC's - Salisbury, Stanton St Qunitin (Chippenham), Warminster, Amesbury, Devizes, Melksham and Honeyball (Calne) More information on the locations and opening times of these sites  New Environment AgencyNew 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.
