Even if produced at a domestic property, these materials are to be treated as non-household waste in accordance with the Controlled Waste Regulations 2012.
Non-household waste already charged for at HWRCs includes tyres from cars and motorcycles.
KCC HWRCs do not accept waste emanating from a business.
Plasterboard and tyres have designated recycling containers.

Chargeable waste should be brought to site in appropriately sized bags; no larger than a standard black sack.
Items such as sheets of plasterboard, paving slabs and sinks that don’t fit into bags will be charged per item.
A daily limit on soil, rubble and hardcore, in-line with current restrictions will apply - a maximum of 5 bags/items (a bag can be up to the size of a standard black sack). The policy to limit these materials was introduced in 2012 to prevent trade waste abuse.
