The waste transfer plan is a useful tool that can help you track your construction waste. Tracking construction waste helps you reduce waste generation, decrease disposal where possible, and increase reuse and recycling. 

With the REBRI waste transfer plan, you'll have a handy document to keep track of the different types of waste you generate and where it's being sent. Plus, there's a material conversion chart included to help you easily convert different waste types into estimated weights in kilograms.

REBRI Resource Recovery Plasterboard: Centralised sorting, storage and processing (PDF)

This guide provides good practice advice to maximise recovery rates for plasterboard waste from construction and demolition (C&D) sites. The guidelines cover the sorting of plasterboard, processing of plasterboard into crushed gypsum and paper and the storage of the raw and processed product at a dedicated or centralised facility.

The aim is to assist operators of mobile and centralised crushing facilities to adopt practices that:

  • maximise operational efficiency and the amount of plasterboard sorted from the landfill or cleanfill
  • minimise contamination and damage of the processed product
  • avoid or minimise environmental and nuisance effects from processing.

This guideline covers:

  • finding good markets for crushed plasterboard
  • on-site versus centralised processing
  • setting up a processing facility
  • operating a plasterboard recycling plant
  • testing and storage of crushed plasterboard
  • environmental, health and safety hurdles
  • resources and contacts
  • other guidelines in this series.
