Can you describe the disposal methods for asbestos after it has been removed from a building?

Asbestos Removal can only be done by licenced contractors. Only businesses holding a licence to work with (either repair or removal of) asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), or those supervising such operations, and those with an ancillary licence, can dispose of Asbestos.

Just to qualify Shirley's response. The disposal must be by Licensed Waste Carrier. The question of removal will be dependent on the type and quantity of ACM. The ACM will normally be sealed or wrapped for transport, then taken to either a waste transfer station licensed to take ACMs or direct to a Waste tip licensed for Asbestos.

Once asbestos is removed, it’s sealed in special bags or containers, clearly labeled as hazardous, and then taken to licensed disposal sites where it’s buried in designated landfill areas under strict regulations.

Asbestos waste is sealed in special bags or wrapping, transported by licensed carriers, and disposed of at approved hazardous waste landfill sites.

The main rule is to keep it sealed and labelled at all times, and only send it to disposal facilities that are approved for asbestos.

Asbestos must be disposed of as hazardous waste. After removal, it is sealed in leak-tight, labeled containers or bags, then transported by licensed carriers to approved hazardous waste landfills. It should never be mixed with regular waste, and strict regulations ensure safe handling to prevent health risks.
