Why is legislation important?
Importantly, plasterboard gypsum waste is not general waste and there is a total ban on the disposal of plasterboard waste at mixed waste landfills. Firstly to be legally compliant, RTS Waste have the correct waste licence to collect this waste type. Secondly RTS provide a 100% recycling plasterboard service, because the materials are processed into gypsum powder, back into new manufacturing. Equally important you will receive a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) to confirm Duty of Care. RTS Waste management provide plasterboard / gypsum collection services across London and Kent.
In order to responsibly dispose of waste plasterboard, RTS Waste will arrange separate containers. In fact the containers maybe a Roll On Roll Off, Skip, Wheeled Bin, or for small amounts RTS Waste recommends a dumpy bag which is a 1 cubic metre bag that is as cheap as £5 + vat. This bag can hold up to 200kg of plasterboard.
