Environmental and
Permitting Issues
|
As with the recycling of most
construction materials, environmental and human safety issues must be
addressed. For drywall from demolition and renovation,
possible issues of concern include the presence of lead-based paint and
asbestos. Dust emissions may also need to be
addressed. Possible environmental issues with recycling drywall
are summarized here.
Processors and recyclers of scrap gypsum drywall should consult the
appropriate regulatory agency to determine which regulations and
policies must be met, and whether or not a permit is required. A
list of state contacts is
provided to assist interested parties in determining appropriate
regulatory requirements.
