Asbestos
Asbestos is a hazardous waste and can be harmful to health if handled incorrectly. It can be found in many forms but the main types tend to be either soft or hard asbestos.
Soft asbestos is a fibrous insulating material and may still be found in some older properties.
Hard asbestos is much more common. This hard solid-sheet material was used extensively for:
- shed roofs and garages
- other asbestos cement products
- ironing board mats
- insulation around fires or others heat sources.
Although not legally required to do so, we offer a one-off service for disposal of asbestos to people living in Nottinghamshire. Conditions apply.
For advice on how to handle asbestos safely, please contact the County Council or the Environment Agency.
