Are you in a flat? Generally dirty water just put on soft ground/flowerbed/lawn etc. More lumpy stuff let it harden and dry out then put it in the bin. Less risk of clogging up the drains/sewers.

No, not in a flat. My brother's place, but no garden.

Tip the water in the road gulley. All the gypsum will fall to the bottom in the trap and the water will flow out the drain. Put the remaining left over plaster in a bag and stick it in the bin.
Kinda what I thought - just keep left overs in a bag/bucket. Tip it.

Has much wash water are they going to make? You could let that settle then flush just the liquid, but none of the solids.
All solid waste material, dried plaster, can be disposed of at your local authority recycling/waste site. Some charge for building waste that cannot be recycled, passing onto you your Landfill Tax.No idea about wash water etc. It's just one bedroom. But yes, I thought we could just bag the solid and tip it. Just confused me as to why he flagged it as an issue. He's experienced so he must have dealt with it before.
And yeah, local council charge for rubble. (Probably why he's questioning it as he doesn't wanna pay for getting rid I guess)
Thanks all.

Plasterer question -
A plasterer just came to quote on a job. But said he was worried there was nowhere to dispose of water/plaster gubbins.
I assume you'd just put it down the storm drains in alleyways (really really watered down). I mean what am I supposed to tell him?
(technically not DIY but hey)
