What is it?
Any product that contains, or is suspected of containing, asbestos. At the Resource Recovery Centre any product suspected of being asbestos will be treated as asbestos unless the customer can provide lab certification that it is not asbestos.
Thousands of products have contained asbestos over the years. The presence of asbestos can only be reliably determined by lab testing.
Examples
Products can include:
- Excavated material with asbestos off cuts
- Floor and ceiling tiles, etc.
- Insulation around pipes and wires
Disposal charge?
Charges apply. See Fees & Charges.
