How to Dispose of Drywall After a Renovation

Drywall can have specific handling rules, so it is worth planning before loading.

Tell Us If It Is Drywall Only

Drywall-only loads may be accepted up to 30 cubic yards. Drywall must be kept separate from other materials to receive drywall-only disposal pricing, so describe the material before delivery.

Mixed Drywall Loads Are Surcharged

If drywall is mixed with renovation waste, wood, household garbage, roofing, yard waste, or other debris, a surcharge will apply. If you have drywall, plan ahead and keep it in its own bin whenever possible.

Avoid Mixing Questionable Materials

Do not mix drywall with restricted or hazardous materials. Paint, chemicals, asbestos, food, electronic waste, and contaminated material should stay out of the bin.

Keep the Load Clean

Cleaner, better-described loads are easier to route and handle. Keep paint, chemicals, asbestos, food, electronic waste, and contaminated material out of the bin.

Use the Right Bin Size

Drywall can be bulky and heavy. Peak Recycling can help recommend a bin based on the amount, access, and whether the load is drywall-only or mixed with surcharge material.
