Asbestos is a hazardous waste so must be handled with care. We accept small amounts of asbestos at our Household Recycling Centres (HRC's), but you must phone 0345 6789 007 in advance to check availability.

What types of asbestos are accepted?

We will only accept small amounts of cement-bonded asbestos e.g. from corrugated garage roofs. If you have large quantities or asbestos from a commercial building such as a farm, you must hire a professional contractor to deal with this waste.

Important safety information

If you want to take small quantities of asbestos to a HRC you must phone us in advance on 0345 6789 007. You should also make sure that you:

• Wear a dust mask and overalls
• Keep sheets intact - never break them up
• Wrap asbestos in strong plastic and seal
• Only put asbestos in the clearly marked red skips

What happens to the asbestos?

Asbestos is taken to a specialist hazardous waste landfill site near Telford for professional disposal.
