Plasterboard Haulage & Recycling Services
Compliant, specialist disposal for your gypsum waste. We ensure your plasterboard is recycled correctly, helping you avoid landfill bans and environmental penalties.
SH Smith Haulage provides dedicated plasterboard waste disposal services for construction, demolition, and refurbishment projects across London and the South East. Our specialist service guarantees that your gypsum waste is handled in full compliance with regulations and transported to approved recycling facilities.
Why Proper Plasterboard Disposal is Crucial
Plasterboard (gypsum) requires separate disposal from other construction waste. When landfilled with biodegradable waste, it produces hydrogen sulphide – a toxic and odorous gas. Regulations therefore mandate:
Separate collection from other waste streams
Transport to specialist gypsum recycling facilities
Complete documentation for audit compliance
Our gypsum waste recycling service ensures your projects meet these legal requirements while supporting sustainable construction practices.
