You can also use a licensed waste removal company to collect and remove asbestos waste for you. They can provide different bins and containers, including drums and skips, for asbestos waste. Waste removalists can be found in the Yellow Pages. Search under “asbestos” or “rubbish removal”.
If you are taking the asbestos waste to your Council’s approved site, place the double wrapped/bagged asbestos waste in a trailer or in the back of a utility or truck. Secure the load to make sure it doesn’t bounce or fly out, tear the plastic wrapping/bags or break the asbestos. Follow the Council’s directions when you arrive at the site.
