Asbestos

Asbestos is a hazardous material and must not be placed in your rubbish or recycling

What do I do with it?

Take it to a recycling centre.

  • don't break or cut asbestos 
  • keep it damp to reduce dust 
  • double wrap or bag it securely in strong plastic 
  • contact the SUEZ helpdesk on 01726 828230 before visiting a Household Waste and Recycling Centre. They'll let you know which sites accept it 
  • a free allowance limit applies. Charges may apply if you exceed this
