Default What is so bad about plasterboard?

So what do they do with the sulphur content then?
What next, chipboard, hardboard etc?

Several messages both on Usenet and from people I know seem to suggest
that
most recycling or waste sites run by councils won't take plasterboard,
saying its a hazard. Excuse me, but my ceilings are made of the stuff, if
it
was in any way dangerous, we surely should have figured this out by now!
Maybe its just hazardous to the machinery that crunches everything up....

The gypsum can be recycled to make new plasterboard.
