Plasterboard disposal
Service update
We are temporarily limiting the number of fridges and freezers accepted at the HWRCs, because a fire at a national recycling facility has reduced disposal capacity.
Only one domestic unit can be brought per visit to the recycling centre and I.D will be checked to ensure it has come from a North Northamptonshire residence.
If you have more than one fridge or freezer to dispose of, you are advised to use a licensed waste disposal company until normal service resumes. The council apologises for the inconvenience and appreciates your patience.
We have plasterboard recycling facilities at all of our household waste recycling centres.
Please ensure any plasterboard you wish to recycle is:
- stripped of any contaminating material such as wood, tiles and bricks
- removed from bags and wrappers
If plasterboard is not completely free of contaminating material we may refuse to take it.
We can accept:
- plasterboard with wallpaper or paint
- plasterboard with foil backing
We can't accept:
- tiles
- bricks and breeze blocks
- batting and fixings
