Drywall

Factual Definition of Drywall

Drywall is a manufactured building panel made of gypsum plaster pressed between thick sheets of paper. Builders mount these boards to wood or metal studs to construct interior walls and ceilings. Common synonyms include sheetrock, plasterboard, gypsum board, gyp board and wallboard.

How Drywall Is Used in the Waste Industry

In the waste industry, this material stands out as a core component of construction and demolition debris (C&D). When buildings undergo remodeling or demolition, crews generate large amounts of waste panels that require spacious containers for disposal. Haulers track the volume of these boards carefully because local landfills often separate them from regular trash to manage environmental emissions. Proper sorting at the site ensures that clean, unpainted scraps can go directly to recycling centers to be processed into agricultural soil treatments or new building supplies.
