Asbestos is a dangerous material that can be both harmful to people and the environment, so needs to be disposed of by qualified professionals. As a carcinogenic material, unsafe handling can lead to serious, even life threatening health problems years or even decades later.
To take the risk away from our clients, our trained experts wear appropriate PPE, use sealed and lockable bins, and transport your waste material to a specialist and fully licensed processing site in Wiltshire, where it’s handled with community safety in mind.
For Asbestos that's bonded, its important that prior to collection, any materials are double bagged and wrapped in UN approved packaging, according to HSC guidance note EM9. Further details can be found here.
We deal with all the paperwork so you can demonstrate your asbestos waste has been disposed of legally and responsibly.

What do we classify as asbestos waste?
It’s vital that we make sure the right bins are used for the right types of waste to ensure public safety during transit. When we collect asbestos, it must be bagged in our containers and contain only asbestos contaminated waste. The two most common types of asbestos waste are bonded (roof sheets, guttering etc) and fibrous (insulation) material.
Here’s what can go in our asbestos waste collections:
Asbestos is a fibrous material which, historically, was frequently used in construction due to its fire resistant properties. However asbestos fibres are dangerous so asbestos is no longer used in construction and requires specialist removal and disposal to prevent the fibres from being inhaled during demolition.
Yes, we operate an asbestos waste disposal service and have a specialist hazardous waste site. We own and operate our own fully-licensed site in Wiltshire, which means we handle the whole process from collection to disposal.
We will provide all the necessary paperwork so you can be sure your waste is handled and disposed of in a legal and responsible manner. All containers provided are sealed and lockable. Please contact our Customer Support Team on 0808 145 4533(08.30 - 17.00 – Monday to Friday) to discuss your requirements.
As a potentially hazardous material, all asbestos waste must be booked 72 hours before delivery to our facility and be accompanied by an appropriate consignment note. The waste and paperwork are inspected by our site weighbridge operator before the asbestos delivery can be approved. Once admitted, the vehicle driver puts on full PPE and, at the correct disposal point, follows strict instructions about where to tip the asbestos. The driver then places the worn PPE into the provided bin and returns to the weighbridge. The tipped load of asbestos is then covered immediately and monitored over time.
