Trying to help my parents on this topic.

They've got old drywall in my dads workshop that's been there for many years that they need to get rid of. We can take it to the landfill but I'm trying to figure out what's written on their site compared to what the guy at the transfer station said compared to the guy I spoke with on vancouvers recycling line.

Transfer station says just a bag labeled drywall
Website says 6mil double bagged
I called the vancouver recycling line while I was at Rona since everywhere I went and called said 3mil is the biggest bag they carry. The guy said that the 3mil double bagged would be sufficient as it meets the required thickness when double bagged, and the bags themselves say for drywall on them.

My dad had to take a trip to the transfer station to dump some old wood off and the guy asked if he was trying to dump the drywall there and he said no. The guy said those bags are unacceptable and the landfill will refuse them.

Where do they get the 6mil bags from? I've been to and called several Home Depots and Ronas and they all say the same thing. 3 mil is the heaviest duty bag they carry.

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
