Is there any reason why someone would want to pull old drywall from the trash?

Just wondering if it's a commodity these days.

8. If you needed to fix a small section of wall or ceiling

10. Depends on the area, gypsum has been used for bedding on dairy farms

with mixed success, could be dangerous gasses but keeps beds dry. Not sure if it is in a rural area??
