Can I recycle it?
Asbestos is not collected as part of your recycling or rubbish collection. Please do not place this item in your recycling bags or rubbish bin.
Asbestos cannot be re-used or recycled under any circumstances. Asbestos is a hazardous material that can damage people's health if not handled correctly.
Asbestos can be taken to some of our Household Waste and Recycling Centres A free allowance limit is in place for this waste stream and a charge may apply.
Please do not break or cut the asbestos, but do keep it wet to minimise dust. Securely double wrap/bag the asbestos in strong plastic to transport it.
Please contact the Suez helpdesk ahead of time on 01726 828230 to forewarn them that you are bringing asbestos on site.
