Householders can deliver their domestic asbestos to the HWRCs. We advise you to take necessary precautions by wearing a face mask and gloves when handling hazardous materials such as asbestos. Asbestos is taken at your own risk. Keep the asbestos damp and avoid breaking it if possible to reduce the risk of airborne fibres. Wrap asbestos in plastic sheeting or bags for transportation. When on site, please see a member of staff as the asbestos container is kept locked for health and safety reasons. Asbestos products collected at the HWRCs are transported to a designated licensed landfill site for safe disposal.
