Ted, your old wall board may have asbestos in it so you may need to take
some precautions to dispose of it.  Wet it to the point of damp when you are
taking it apart.  Wear a face filter that is rated for asbestos (purple?),
wear gloves of latex and disposable coveralls.  All the debris should go
into plastic bags that are sealable.  In the alternative, sealing the panels
is doable, but you need to seal  them on both sides.  Don't track the stuff
out of the work area.  Don't live in the space until  you are finished and
clean up is complete.  Best to use an attic fan to vent also while all this
is happening.
