Santee contracts with two Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection facilities to accept residents' hazardous waste for free . Open Saturdays by appointment only . No appointment necessary. Loads should not weigh more than 100 pounds. Friable means it is subject to fragmentation into tiny parts that can be inhaled or ingested.
Friable asbestos is extremely hazardous.
Non-friable asbestos remains intact and is not considered hazardous. If the asbestos is tested to be friable, an asbestos removal specialist should be called. Small quantities of friable asbestos are accepted at Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection facilities if labeled and double-bagged. If the asbestos has been tested as non-friable, it can be landfilled. San Diego Landfill Systems only accepts non-friable asbestos.
