Asbestos is a hazardous waste material, harmful to both people and the environment. Improper handling can lead to severe health issues, including life-threatening conditions that may surface years later. As qualified professionals, we ensure your asbestos is safely removed and disposed of in accordance with regulations.
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).
Booking: Asbestos disposal must be booked 72 hours in advance.
Inspection: All waste and consignment notes are inspected on arrival at our site weighbridge.
Safety Protocols: On admittance drivers wear full PPE and, at the correct disposal point, follow strict tipping instructions at our facility. On completion, the driver must place the used PPE into the bin provided, before returning to the weighbridge.
Containment: Waste is covered immediately in an asbestos cell, and monitored for safety.
Asbestos is a fibrous material previously used in construction for its fire-resistant properties. However, due to health risks, it’s now no longer used and requires specialised disposal.

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.
