Are the "disposal fees" for drywall different than for other materials???
...Yes, because drywall recycling is highly regulated industry, and the fact that prior to 1990, some drywall joint compounds and texture coats contained asbestos, drywall disposal fees are slightly higher than those for most other materials
Drywall Disposal Fees:
There are two different categories of drywall debris...

$25.00 per 100 kg

* Non date stamped board or board marked with a date stamp older than 1990 must be accompanied by analytical test results showing that no asbestos is present. For more information on how to obtain analytical test results for your drywall, please give us a call @
Can any other materials go in the same trailer as my drywall debris???
...No, drywall cannot be co-mingled with any other materials when being recycled. However, drywall with ceramic tiles attached (kitchen backsplashes or shower walls) is acceptable
Okay, is there anything else I need to know about drywall disposal before I go ahead with my project???
...We've covered most of it, but here's a list of some helpful hints just in case
Helpful Hints:
Here are a few hints to help take the hassle out of disposing of your drywall...
-
Check for a date stamp
Date stamps can be found printed on the back side of full drywall sheets or along the edges of the board, or both, and vary in appearance depending on the manufacturer.
-
If in doubt, have your drywall tested
If you are at all unsure about the age of your drywall, or if you cannot find a date stamp, have your drywall tested for the presence of asbestos. These tests are relatively inexpensive and will not only help keep you, your family, and workers safe, but may also help you to avoid costly hazardous materials clean-up bills in the future!
-
Test every room you plan to demolish
It is not unheard of to have different drywall joint compounds and texture coats from one room to another, so be sure to have every room tested
-
