Answer:

Asbestos can be taken to recycling centres for disposal. There is a disposal restriction of 4 sheets or 4 bags (approximately 25kg rubble bags) per household every 6 months.  

Asbestos must be double wrapped in heavy duty clear polythene and sealed securely with tape before it can be accepted on site.  

Our staff cannot help you in bagging these materials because of legal and health implications. 

 For larger quantities, householders must contact specialist licensed firms to handle that material.  

Asbestos should not be broken up.  

Answer:

Asbestos can only be accepted at 5 of our recycling centres between 1pm and 3pm on the days that they are open.

Please check information on Warwickshire County Council's website for asbestos disposal at Lower House Farm, Baddesley Ensor.

Answer:
Asbestos may be part of any commercial or domestic building which was built or refurbished before the year 2000. Do not try to repair or remove any asbestos materials yourself. If you are not sure if your home contains asbestos, then it is best to leave it alone.
