- Use sealed, lockable bins: For secure containment
- Licensed specialist processing site in Wiltshire: Managed with community safety in mind
- For bonded asbestos, prior to collection, we require material to be double-bagged in UN approved packaging per HSC guidelines (see guidance EM9 for details).
Complete Documentation: We handle all paperwork, providing full proof of legal, responsible disposal.

How is asbestos handled / disposed of?
Because asbestos is hazardous, all asbestos waste must be pre-booked 72 hours in advance, accompanied by a consignment note. Upon arrival, the waste and paperwork are reviewed by our site weighbridge operator before delivery is approved.
Once admitted:
- PPE Compliance: The driver dons full PPE and follows strict protocols for asbestos disposal.
- Controlled Tipping: The driver tips the asbestos at the designated point under site instructions.
- Safe PPE Disposal: After tipping, the driver places their PPE in the provided bin before returning to the weighbridge.
The asbestos load is then immediately covered and monitored over time to ensure safety and compliance.
