*Important change in legislation*
From the 1 April 2009 the landfilling of plaster, plasterboard, gypsum and other high sulphate-bearing wastes with biodegradable waste is prohibited in England and Wales.

Please dispose of any plaster waste in the separate container provided at the Household Waste Recycling Centre, and do not dispose in the general or brick and rubble skip.
