How to Dispose Plasterboard in Tower Hamlets
By Elliot Shimmin. 8 May 2025.
There are two major recycling centers close to, or within, Tower Hamlets that accept plasterboard. Those are Bywaters and PowerDay. However, they only accept commercial loads of +500kg.
Tower Hamlets Council offers a bulky waste collection service. You get 2 free collections per year per household, but they don't accept plasterboard.
Of course, there's the regular weekly waste collection, but plasterboard isn't accepted (if it's noticed).
With the exception of driving a long way to a different recycling center, the best option is a paid-for collection service. After scoping a few options, I used www.londonwastemanagement.com. The plasterboard costs are here, with a home collection fee on top.
Not a very interesting note, but hopefully this saves you a few hours of research 🤞
