Disposal of asbestos

Asbestos is a small fibrous material, widely used as an insulator in buildings and domestic goods. It has also been much used in building materials such as gutters, down spouts and roofing sheets.

It can be harmful if breathed in, although its effects may not be seen for years and therefore its disposal is controlled and you will probably need a permit. The asbestos will need to be placed in special asbestos bags, which you should purchase when you apply for the permit.
