ABSTRACT:
A shipping container constructed primarily of pieces of scrap gypsum board and designed for use in handling and transporting gypsum board scrap from various building sites to the manufacturer of gypsum board for recycling. The bottom or floor and the top or closure of the container consists of larger pieces of scrap such as the pieces left from cutting out spaces for windows or doors or other openings.
The four vertical side walls of the container are composed of stacked layers of approximately 8 inch wide strips of gypsum board scrap, the joints at the four corners being staggered every several layers to provide added strength or stability to the structure.
While the container is still open at the top before the top cover board is put on the container to close it, the container is filled with smaller pieces of gypsum board scrap which usually is run through a chipping machine to break it down into relatively small pieces of scrap waste.
Each container or unit is usually about four feet square and of structurally stable height. Each container unit is supported upon two or three pedestals that are also composed of narrow, stacked strips of gypsum board scrap, so that a forked lift truck can be moved under the completed and filled container and transfer it with other similar units to a flat bed truck for transportation to the manufacturer for recycling.
The container is bound together by two or three metal or plastic or fiber glass bands, straps, tapes or ribbons which encircle the container, including the pedestals, and are fastened tightly around the unit to provide added stability against breakdown or failure during handling and transportation.
