Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause respiratory problems and even cancer when inhaled. Asbestos was widely used in buildings and construction materials until the 1980s, so many buildings in the UK still contain asbestos. If you suspect that your building contains asbestos, it is important to have it removed and disposed of properly.

Asbestos disposal is not simply a matter of throwing the material in a bin. Asbestos is classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of in compliance with strict regulations. The waste must be properly contained and transported to a licensed landfill site for disposal. Failure to dispose of asbestos properly can result in serious health risks and legal penalties.
