How it works
Recycled Gypsum from Drywall is a Valuable Product
Gypsum to Gypsum diverts waste drywall from landfills by setting up systems to collect and process source separated drywall waste generated from manufacturer’s, contractors, and distributors. Once collected, Gypsum to Gypsum efficiently processes recycled drywall to produce high quality, cost effective gypsum products to the commercial and agricultural market space.
Our Process
Collection
On average, 15% of all Drywall that is installed will become scrap or waste created by cuts needed to form area’s where doors, windows, plumbing, and cabinetry are installed. In order to move to the next phase of the project, the waste must be cleaned. At this very specific time in the project is when Drywall is ready to be collected and recycled. Gypsum to Gypsum provides cleaning and collections services for contractors at this phase of the project. Our cleaning services include; removing all drywall scraps from the job site, sweeping, covering floors with paper, and taping. This allows the second phase of the drywall project to begin smoothly. If contractors prefer to do their own in-house cleaning Gypsum to Gypsum provides dumpster services for drywall to be collected in. Our service is nimble and we always take into consideration space constraints on jobsites. Our dumpster services include many sizes of containers for all types of project sizes.
Drywall Disposal and Drop Off
If your company is doing its own drywall waste hauling, we are open for drop-off services during normal business hours Monday-Friday. We charge per ton for every drywall load that is received. We accept only clean drywall that has been source separate and all non-drywall debris must be removed.
Drywall Recycling Process
When Drywall Waste is received at our facility it is processed to remove the paper backing from the gypsum. Gypsum to Gypsum’s management team has had vast experience in the waste industry with over 30+ years of experience. Our experience has led us to use the most modern equipment, combined with industry experience in processing high volumes of construction materials we produce a consistent product grade in every processing cycle. We can modify our process easily to create different grades of gypsum products that are distributed to the commercial and agricultural space. In the year 2020, Gypsum to Gypsum effectively diverted and processed over 54,000 tons of processed Gypsum Drywall. This figure only represents 9% of the total available drywall waste in King County, WA.
