[QUOTE="jamestc989, post: 8013661, member: 167265"] Thanks everyone for the replies. Really interesting - another member who messaged me directly explained there are EA restrictions of no more than 1 tonne per Hectare per 12 months and it mustn't be put on wet or frozen land: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/low-risk-waste-positions-landspreading/storing-and-spreading-gypsum-waste-to-benefit-land-lrwp-59#:~:text=only%20store%20up%20to%2030,to%2012%20months%20before%20spreading[/URL] I'm trying to look at ways in which we can responsibly get rid of the plasterboard which is collected by our suppliers in a way which hopefully benefits farmers too and cut out the big players. From a business perspective, ultimately I run a small brokerage, so it does need to remain profitable at the same time. Currently the going rate for bulk plasterboard disposal (unprocessed) is about £50+VAT per tonne and then on average it's about £10 per tonne haulage. That's based on about 50 tonnes per week. If we can process the plasterboard into recycled gypsum and get it certified, are there many of you who would be interested in just paying for the haulage for it and if so, what sort of quantity per month would you be able to receive? No guarantees as it's early stage at the moment, but we may even be able to subsidise the cost of the haulage too if we can certify and process it cheaply! [/QUOTE]
