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.

I think I might be misunderstanding but if you dump more then 2 sheets of drywall you need lab results? How do they differ between new contstruction drywall scrap and old scrap? I guess what I'm getting at is whats to stop someone from just gutting the house and dumping it themselves at any of the wastech locations?
It's a cash grab for sure and one I don't think can be easily enforced. People will just go to the dump, lie and say it's from new construction.
