USA Gypsum Drywall Recycling Exceeds 10 Million lb Milestone in the Philadelphia Metro Area

    REINHOLDS, Pa., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- In the last year, USA Gypsum

has recycled over 10 million pounds of drywall scraps from the Philadelphia

metropolitan area; 10 million pounds being equivalent to drywall scrap from

5,000 single family homes. This means over 900 roll off waste trucks

diverted from land fill! They have provided drywall recycling services for

several large construction projects in Philadelphia including the Microsoft

School of the Future, which featured a green building (2006) and the

Comcast Center building. The waste from the Comcast Center was removed

co-mingled with other construction waste by the Richard C Burns Company.

The mixed waste was transported to Burns facility in Philadelphia,

separated, and the drywall from the waste stream was forwarded to them for

recycling (2007-2008).



    There are several benefits contractors can receive from utilizing USA

Gypsum drywall recycling services. First, it is cost effective and

affordable, allowing contractors to save money on waste removal or have

more removed for their dollar. Second, sending drywall scrap to them for

recycling is quick, easy, and alleviates the need for extra dumpsters that

take up space on the work site. USA Gypsum has developed multiple services

for the Philadelphia area including scrap removal and pick up service, roll

off containers, and several drop off points. These choices offer

convenience for a variety of construction types.



    They not only service the Philadelphia area but they offer service

throughout the Northeast ranging from New York City to Pittsburgh to

Washington D.C.



    USA Gypsum recycles 100% of drywall received into agricultural

products.



    For ten years, USA Gypsum has been revolutionizing the recycling

business, even before the boom in the green industry. There are so many

benefits to be had through this process like conserving natural gypsum

resources, reducing deforestation, reducing landfill waste, and reducing

energy costs by eliminating the need to import gypsum to the northeast from

Canada, Mexico, and Spain.
