Using waste plasterboard as backfill

Thoughts?

 

We have plenty of deep areas where we can put this that will not be used to grow anything or that will affect water courses or aquifers.

If you are talking of burying in in the ground then NO

Just turn to mush surely ??

And generate hydrogen sulphide - which is toxic, corrosive & flammable.

Put it in timber floor voids and stud wall voids as sound absorbing mass

Absolutely not. In skips and at waste handling centres it is collected separately for safe disposal, it's so nasty.

In theory the manufacturers take it back and recycle it. In practice I think they avoid doing so.
