Can You Put Plasterboard in a Skip?

If you’re in the process of renovating your home then you might find that you end up with a lot of plasterboard that you need to get rid of. However, plasterboard does often need to be disposed of separately, especially if you’re trying to get rid of it along with other household or building waste.

At Evergreen Skip Hire, we can help you with specialist waste disposal solutions tailored around the type of waste you’re looking to get rid of, and help to ensure this gets recycled appropriately.

Are You Allowed to Put Plasterboard in to a Skip?

Quite often, plasterboard cannot be thrown away along with building waste in a standard skip. This is because plasterboard contains gypsum, which can produce harmful chemicals if broken down in landfills. There are waste regulations in place which restrict how plasterboard can be disposed.

How Can You Dispose of Plasterboard?

Plasterboards should be kept separately to the rest of the waste and not be put into the same skip. At Evergreen, we can help arrange to have your plasterboard collected by a specialist and taken to the right facility to be recycled.

If you’re looking to hire a skip, speak to one of our team to see whether we can accept the plasterboard you have, and we’ll help you to arrange the right disposal solution.

Checking what can and cannot go into your skip before delivery helps you avoid unexpected charges and keeps your waste disposal organised from the start.
