Asbestos

Small amounts of hard-bonded asbestos from residential property will be accepted at Household Waste Recycling Centre (Tel: 01228 531454). The maximum that will be accepted on any day is four sheets, or an equivalent amount. All asbestos must be double-wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape prior to visiting the site.

Do not break up Asbestos sheets as this could release the Asbestos fibres which are a hazard to health.

Storage capacity for asbestos at the Household Waste Recycling Centre is restricted so please contact the site before you go to confirm that they have enough space for your waste.

If you need to deal with more than a few sheets of hard-bonded asbestos or any fibrous asbestos you should contact a specialist contractor. If you need advice about dealing with asbestos on your own residential property please call Customer Services on 01228 817200.
