Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in the construction of buildings until the 1980s. It was used mainly because of its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, when asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, they release microscopic fibers that can be easily inhaled and cause serious health problems.

There are three main types of asbestos that were commonly used in building materials:

• Chrysotile (white asbestos)
• Amosite (brown asbestos)
• Crocidolite (blue asbestos)

All types of asbestos are hazardous and can cause serious respiratory problems when inhaled. It's important to take necessary safety measures when handling or disposing of asbestos-containing materials.

Waste Handling, Recycling and Disposal

Asbestos-containing materials are considered hazardous waste and must be handled, transported, and disposed of in accordance with the regulations set out by the Environment Agency. It's important to hire a licensed asbestos removal and disposal company, such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, to ensure that the materials are removed and disposed of safely and legally.

When handling asbestos-containing materials, it's important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as disposable coveralls, gloves, and a respirator. The materials should also be double-bagged in heavy-duty plastic bags labeled with a warning sign indicating that they contain asbestos.

Asbestos-containing materials can be disposed of either in a landfill site or by incineration. However, recycling asbestos-containing materials is a more environmentally friendly option. Our team can help you identify any potentially recyclable materials and ensure they are disposed of using environmentally sound methods.

Local Hazardous Waste Sites in Sussex

If you are a homeowner or a small business owner in Sussex, you can dispose of small quantities of asbestos-containing materials at the local household waste site. However, it's important to check with the waste site before bringing any materials to ensure that they are accepted. In addition, you'll need to provide proof that you are a resident of Sussex.

For larger quantities of asbestos-containing materials, it's important to hire a professional asbestos removal and disposal company such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex.
