Asbestos

Asbestos is dangerous to human health and must be disposed of safely. It is not accepted at any of our recycling centres.

If your ironing board has a metal resting plate which contains asbestos, it cannot be taken to our recycling centres. We provide a free disposal service for ironing boards containing asbestos.

If you have employed a contractor/tradesperson to dismantle a structure containing asbestos, it is their responsibility to remove this material from your property and dispose of it safely.

If you are a resident and dismantle and remove a structure containing asbestos yourself from your own home you can book an appointment to dispose of it at a dedicated site for a fee of £120, providing you meet certain criteria.
