The removal of asbestos
Asbestos based insulation materials are still quite common in many homes and businesses. The only way to dispose of asbestos is safely and correctly and the best solutions for you depend upon the amounts of asbestos you have to dispose of. The Health and Safety Executive assist in managing the risks associated with asbestos.
Jameson Road Household Recycling Centre will accept small amounts of asbestos, before taking asbestos to a recycling centre you need to make sure it is wrapped properly:
- It must be wrapped in heavy duty polythene sheets
- Smaller pieces of asbestos should be double-bagged and securely sealed
Recycling centres provide asbestos wrapping materials free of charge (in limited quantities) for householders. You will need to collect them from the recycling centre.
