Is it legal

Gives off a deadly gas when mixed with slurry in closed channels and slatted pits. Lost a cow a few years back from gas coming up slats when emptying out of a tower.

Thank you @Formatted

To clarify;

Using gypsum/waste plasterboard for bedding is illegal

https://webarchive.nationalarchives...S_039_Gypsum_in_animal_bedding_March_2012.pdf

However, shredded paper from plasterboard reprocessing is legal, although the sample should be carefully checked to make sure that it is just the backing paper. Although, as with any enclosed spaces, measures should be in place to ensure human and livestock safety.

Excerpt from the link, page 8, https://beefandlamb.ahdb.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bedding-materials-directory.pdf

Waste shredded paper and cardboard, dried paper sludges and plasterboard backing paper, can all be used for animal bedding.
As these are considered wastes, a waste exemption must be registered before using them.

I hope this clarifies the position.

How much are you paying farmers to take this waste? Do you sort out all the EA paperwork?

Please ensure that you recieve a properly processed product and have the right exemptions in place - I have attached Envirofarm Livestock Bedding information sheet which was formulated in conjunction with the Environment Agency which gives you the correct guide and processes that need to be in place.
