Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex: How Is Asbestos Disposed In Sussex?

Asbestos is a hazardous material that was widely used in construction due to its insulating properties. Unfortunately, it has been linked to serious health conditions like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. As a result, asbestos waste needs to be handled and disposed of carefully to prevent it from harming people and the environment.

If you live in Sussex or the South East of England and need help with asbestos disposal, Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex can assist you. Our licensed and professional team can handle hazardous special waste such as asbestos safely and affordably.

Asbestos and Asbestos Waste

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in rocks and soil. Because of its durability, heat resistance, and insulation qualities, it was used in thousands of products in buildings and vehicles until the late 1980s. However, when asbestos fibers get released into the air by disturbing or damaging materials that contain it, such as in demolition or renovation works, it can create a potential hazard to human health.

Asbestos waste refers to any material that contains asbestos, including products like pipes, insulation, roofing materials, and more. Although asbestos is no longer used in the UK, the material still remains in older buildings, and if it is not contained properly, it could cause harm. To prevent exposure to asbestos fibers, local governments have strict regulations about how to handle and dispose of asbestos waste.

Handling and Disposing of Asbestos Waste

Asbestos waste must be collected, transported, and disposed of according to strict regulations to prevent harm to people and the environment. The UK has dedicated sites where asbestos waste must be disposed of, and only licensed carriers are allowed to transport it.

Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex is a licensed and professional waste carrier with many years of experience in asbestos removal and disposal. We use a variety of removal methods depending on the property type, including encapsulation, which seals in asbestos safely, and removal, where we remove the asbestos-containing material and then dispose of it safely.

Special Waste and Hazardous Special Waste

Asbestos is considered a hazardous special waste because it contains carcinogenic fibers that pose a risk to health. That means it must be treated and transported separately from other types of waste to prevent cross-contamination. Under UK law, hazardous special waste must be labelled with information about its type and potential hazards.

Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex has the experience and knowledge to handle hazardous special waste, including asbestos, safely and efficiently. We follow strict guidelines when packing, labelling, and transporting hazardous waste to ensure that there is no potential for harm.

The Cost of Asbestos Disposal

Asbestos disposal can be expensive, especially if you're dealing with large amounts of waste. The cost of asbestos removal and disposal will depend on various factors, such as the type of waste, the quantity, and the location.
