Asbestos is a highly dangerous substance that is still present in many homes and buildings constructed before 2000. It was widely used in the past as a construction material due to its durability, heat resistance, and insulating properties. However, it was later discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

If your building contains asbestos, it is crucial that you get it removed and disposed of properly. Asbestos waste must be handled by trained professionals who are equipped to protect themselves and others from exposure. Asbestos waste cannot be safely disposed of in the regular waste bin or sent to the landfill. It can only be disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste facility.
