How to dispose of asbestos waste
Asbestos waste must be placed in suitable packaging to prevent any fibres from being released. This should be double-wrapped and appropriately labelled. Standard practice is to use a red inner bag – marked up with asbestos warning labels – and a clear outer bag with appropriate hazard markings. Intact asbestos cement sheets and textured coatings that are firmly attached to a board should not be broken up into smaller pieces. These should instead be carefully double wrapped in suitable polythene sheeting (0.2mm) and labelled.
Where to dispose of asbestos waste
