Asbestos at home

If you have small quantities of cement bonded asbestos sheets to dispose of, (no more than 15 sheets of approx size 120cm x 60cm), it can be taken to one of five Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in Hampshire that are specially licensed to receive this type of hazardous waste. No other type of asbestos is acceptable.

For health and safety reasons, all whole sheets should be wrapped securely in plastic sheeting and should be transported whole. Small or broken pieces should be double bagged and securely sealed when brought to the site. Avoid breaking the material where possible. For guidance on safe handling, contact the Health and Safety Executive on 0300 003 1747, or see: www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos.

Please note that you must phone in advance to pre-book acceptance and to check that the container is not full and awaiting emptying, or you may not be able to deposit your cement bonded asbestos.

• where it contains no water that is exposed to air; and
• where its water supply is not connected; and
• where its electrical supply is not connected;

Information to be notified to us is:

• The address of the premises where the notifiable device is to be situated.
• The name, address and telephone number of a person who has, to any extent, control of the premises referred to in paragraph 1 above.
