How to Dispose of Asbestos Sheets

When it comes to disposing of asbestos sheets, there are several steps you need to take to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.

Step 1: Measure the asbestos sheet

The first step in disposing of asbestos sheets is knowing the length and width of the sheets you need to dispose of. This information is essential when it comes to choosing the right asbestos bags to dispose of them.

Step 2: Order the asbestos bags

Once you have measured the sheets, you need to order the asbestos bags you need. At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we can provide you with the right size of asbestos disposal bags that match your sheets' dimensions.

Step 3: Bag the asbestos sheets

After you have received the bags, you can begin bagging the asbestos sheets. Make sure to wear protective clothing, gloves, and a respirator before handling the sheets.

Carefully place the sheets into the asbestos bags, making sure not to damage them. Once you have filled the bag, seal it securely, making sure that all the air is out.

Step 4: Arrange for disposal

Once you have bagged the asbestos sheets, you need to arrange for their disposal. In Devon, there are several options for disposing of asbestos waste.

Option 1: Take the bags to a local waste facility

You can contact your local waste facility and ask if they accept asbestos waste. You will need to confirm with them the times when you can deliver the bags and any other necessary arrangements for disposal.

Option 2: Hire a professional asbestos removal company

If you do not have the time or resources to dispose of the bags yourself, you can hire a professional asbestos removal company such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon.
