A maximum quantity of 50 Kgs cement bonded asbestos will be allowed for free disposal (a charge to cover the cost of collecting the asbestos is applicable). 50Kgs equates to approximately three 1.8 x 0.7 metre standard corrugated sheets, 3 x 2 metre lengths of pipe / guttering or 2-3 x 25 Kg size plastic sacks of pieces (dependent upon quantity within the sack) A water tank will weigh up to around 40 Kgs dependent upon size. 

Nb. Due to the extra size, thickness and hence increased weight, asbestos sheets larger than the standard 1.8 x 0.7 metres (or the equivalent area of 1.35 square metres) eg. whole 2.0 x 1.0 metre corrugated sheets will not be accepted as they cannot be safely managed within the terms of the scheme. As hazardous fibres will be released sheets larger than the maximum specified within the collection terms must not be broken to reduce the size of the sheet and alternative collection arrangements will need to be made. Please ensure that any asbestos presented for collection is free of exposed nails. Damping the asbestos with water will minimise the release of any hazardous fibres. DO NOT BREAK THE ASBESTOS TO REMOVE NAILS. If you have concerns regarding health risks from handling asbestos advice is available online at www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos or by telephoning the HSE Info line on 0845 345 0055 (Minicom: 0845 408 9577) or e-mailing hse.infoline@natbrit.com If the asbestos has been produced by the householder carrying out the work and not left as a result of a work carried out by a contractor, we will dispose of the asbestos for free and only charge to cover the cost of collection. It is the contractor's responsibility to make arrangements for the disposal of any asbestos waste they generate. The asbestos may still be collected if left by a contractor but the householder will be liable for the disposal cost of £0.51 per Kg. Dismantled garages, sheds or outhouses etc. (even if dismantled by the householder) are classed (using DEFRA Guidelines) as construction and demolition waste and are not within the scope of the service provided.
