This blog will guide you through each step needed to dispose of asbestos-containing materials properly: from preparation and labelling to transportation and final disposal at authorised facilities.

Contractors must follow precise methods to contain and dispose of asbestos materials safely under NESHAP regulations. These rules include sealing off work areas, using wet methods to minimise dust, and properly labelling waste containers.

As asbestos is incredibly harmful if disturbed, it must be officially removed, transported and disposed of by a trained professional. Some people would rather cut these costs by attempting to remove the asbestos themselves and then dump it illegally, either at nearby fly-tipping locations or – in extreme situations – nearby schools or beaches.
