[QUOTE="jamestc989, post: 8005246, member: 167265"] Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I run a national skip hire brokerage and also a waste transfer station in the south of the UK, so have relationships with lots of large and small skip companies and waste transfer stations. The cost for waste management at the moment is going through the roof (landfill tax, red diesel ban, utilities) and we're looking at ways in which we can better recycle materials. I have virtually no experience in this particular subject, so I am looking to try and get some insight into what we could do with the plasterboard which we collect and whether to invest in machinery to process it into gypsum. I understand that gypsum is used for farming, but there is very little information anywhere about the market. I have read in a thread on here that one of the frustrations is plasterboard not being separated from mixed waste in a skip. That's not a problem for us and we can make sure it's properly separated. As farmers, how do you obtain your gypsum/plasterboard and which do you prefer? Do you pay for either? If so, how much per tonne and how much do you need per annum? Is there a demand for it or a particular type? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
