Asbestos has been a popular construction material for its durability and heat-resistant properties. However, it is now widely known that asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer, when inhaled.

As such, the UK government has banned the use of asbestos since 1999, and has strict regulations and guidelines on how to properly dispose of and manage asbestos-containing wastes.

Improper asbestos disposal poses not only health risks, but also legal and environmental consequences. Asbestos wastes should never be disposed of in general waste bins or landfills, as this can contaminate the soil, water, and air.

So if you have asbestos-containing materials that need to be removed and disposed of, it is a must to get the services of a licensed and bonded asbestos disposal company.
