This program is subject to eligibility. The following conditions apply:
• The service is for non-friable asbestos only.
• Only material that has already been removed from a structure and is lying dormant on the property will be collected.
• The material will only be removed if it is able to be easily accessed by the contractor.
The Free Asbestos Collection program has been developed by Councils to offer a lawful, convenient disposal for small quantities of asbestos, generated as a result of minor renovations and/or repairs.
Illegal dumping of asbestos can have a serious impact on public health and cause contamination of our environment.
Illegal dumping of asbestos can incur fines of up to $500,000 for individuals and $2 million for corporations.
This project is a NSW Environment Protection Authority Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy initiative, funded from the waste levy.
