石棉 FAQ #2 - How should I dispose of asbestos waste?

石棉 waste describes any asbestos products or materials that are ready to be disposed of. This includes any contaminated building materials, 灰尘, 废墟, used tools that cannot be decontaminated, disposable PPE (personal protective equipment), 和 any fabric that has been used for cleaning.

How to dispose of asbestos waste

石棉 waste must be placed in suitable 包装 to prevent any fibres from being released. This should be double-wrapped 和 appropriately labelled. St和ard practice is to use a red inner bag – marked up with asbestos warning labels – 和 a clear outer bag with appropriate hazard markings. Intact asbestos cement sheets 和 textured coatings that are firmly attached to a board should not be broken up into smaller pieces. These should instead be carefully double-wrapped in suitable polythene sheeting (1000 gauge) 和 labelled.

Where to dispose of asbestos waste
