Where to dispose of asbestos in Walsall

Asbestos waste is hazardous. It cannot go in household bins or a normal skip. It has to be double-wrapped, labelled and taken by a registered carrier to a permitted site.

Why normal waste routes will not work

Fibres released when sheets are crushed or tipped are the danger. Ordinary skip hire and bin collections are not allowed to take asbestos.

Household recycling centres

Some councils accept small amounts from householders with conditions, many do not. Check with Walsall Council before you move anything, and do not break sheets to make them fit.

Using a contractor

The simplest route. A registered waste carrier takes the wrapped waste to a permitted site and issues paperwork. The cost of carriage and disposal should be itemised in the quote.

Paperwork to expect

Hazardous waste is accompanied by a consignment or transfer note. Keep it. It shows where the waste went and who took it.

Fly-tipping risk

Using an unregistered person to take it away can leave you responsible for fly-tipping. Ask for a waste carrier registration number and check it on the Environment Agency register.
