Any material containing asbestos fibre presents a potential risk to health and accordingly should be treated with great care. This risk increases considerably if the material becomes damaged or is disturbed, and where fibres are then released into the atmosphere.
In order to reduce risk you must prevent fibre release by:
- Repairing damaged Asbestos cement
- Suitably sealing dusty or deteriorating surfaces
- Enclosing the Asbestos cement material
- Removing and disposing of the Asbestos cement material
You can dispose of asbestos by using a private licensed asbestos removal contractor or carrying out the work yourself.
Only if you carry out the work yourself, you can then make an appointment to deliver the prepared waste via Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA).
This is a disposal service available to Merseyside residents with cement bonded asbestos products only. This asbestos disposal service via MRWA's contractor Veolia is available to residents with cement bonded asbestos products.
To make a booking please go to:
www.merseyside-and-halton.veolia.co.uk/asbestos-disposal-service.
Or call 0203 567 4200 (calls charged at a local rate, dependent on your network provider).
If you have paid someone to remove the asbestos then it becomes trade waste and you will not be able to use the disposal service.
