In Sask they don't even recycle drywall or anything for that matter. Everything goes into the same bin and is dumped at the same location.

The city is currently is already enforcing it by declining loads that contain more than 2 sheets of drywall.
If you have anymore, they will be sending you to New west gypsum where if you dont have lab results or proof that the drywall is manufactured after 1984 they are turning you away.
it'll most likely be part of permit process, but so many small contractors that skip it when they are doing small guts that no one knows about the new regulations.
This won't affect the large contractors who do whole house demo's as they already get the house tested for asbestos before they even start knocking out drywall.
I just dumped my last load of drywall that weighed approximately 4000kg with no documentation, however I had to state where the drywall came from and what contractor took it down.
