Drywall and plaster disposal for sheets, scraps, lath and old plaster walls, with notes on weight, water and clean loading.
Drywall is light when it is dry and surprisingly heavy when it is wet, and plaster is dense in any condition. Tearing out a room of either one produces a lot of dust, sharp pieces and more weight than you expect. A roll-off dumpster gives you a safe, tidy way to handle it. In Nashville, older homes often have plaster and lath, and newer ones have drywall, so we plan for both.
Break drywall down into manageable pieces and stack it flat, and keep the container covered if rain is coming. Plaster and lath are heavier and often come with horsehair, wire or old nails, so wear gloves, a mask and eye protection. If a house is old, ask the right professional about any special materials before you start tearing out walls. We help you pick a size and explain the weight allowance so the haul goes smoothly. Mist the work area lightly to keep dust down, and wear a mask and eye protection. Remove screws and nails when you can, bag the fine dust and break plaster into smaller pieces so it spreads across the floor of the container. Cover the container in wet weather to keep drywall light.
