Asbestos removal and disposal

We do not accept asbestos at any of our recycling centres, even during our hazardous waste events.  Our advice is that you should have asbestos removed by a specialist asbestos removal and disposal contractor.  You can find specialist contractors in your local telephone directory or online.

Please contact the company you find in your search first to ask about current charges, opening times and the correct disposal procedure and let them know when booking what form the material takes (for example, 'corrugated roofing', 'gutter, downpipe' etc.) so that staff may advise you on whether the material can be accepted.
