Plasterboard disposal

HWRC parking changes

Parking at Kettering, Rushden and Wellingborough HWRCs will be changing from October 2025 to make sites safer and easier to use - two rows of parallel parking will be implemented at each site

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
