Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex: The Ultimate Guide to Disposing Asbestos Waste in Sussex

Asbestos is a hazardous substance that poses significant health risks, especially when it is not handled and disposed of correctly. If you live or work in Sussex and have old buildings or construction materials that contain asbestos, you need to dispose of them safely and legally.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we are a local asbestos disposal company that provides affordable and reliable services to clients in Sussex and the South East of England. We understand the importance of proper asbestos disposal, and we have developed this guide to help you navigate through the process of disposing of asbestos waste in Sussex.

Asbestos: A Dangerous Hazardous Waste

Asbestos is a naturally-occurring fibrous mineral that was widely used in construction materials such as roofing, insulation, floor tiles, and pipes until the 1980s. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, the fibers can become airborne, and if inhaled, they can cause severe respiratory illnesses such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

That's why proper asbestos disposal is critical to ensuring the health and safety of people and the environment. It is illegal to dispose of asbestos waste in ordinary landfill sites or burning them in a bonfire, and failure to comply with the regulations can lead to heavy fines and even imprisonment.

Our asbestos site services include:

Asbestos Survey Services

We conduct asbestos surveys in Sussex to identify any asbestos-containing materials in your property. Our team of surveyors will inspect your property and take samples of any suspect materials that they find. We then send these samples to a UKAS accredited laboratory for analysis.

After the results are out, we prepare an asbestos survey report that details the location, type, and condition of the asbestos-containing materials. We also provide recommendations on the best course of action to manage and dispose of the materials safely.

Asbestos Management Services

If your property contains asbestos, we offer asbestos management services to help you manage and maintain the materials safely. We provide practical advice and guidance on how to minimize asbestos fiber release, prevent any disturbance of the materials, and dispose of them safely when necessary.

Asbestos Must Be Disposed of Correctly

If you have asbestos-containing materials that you must dispose of, you need to follow the correct procedures to ensure safe and legal disposal. Here are some general guidelines to follow when disposing of asbestos waste:

• Materials containing asbestos must be double-bagged in heavy-duty polythene bags and labeled as asbestos waste.
• You must obtain a consignment note and take it to the approved landfill site where the asbestos waste should be disposed of.
• Asbestos waste must be disposed of in an authorized landfill that is licensed to accept hazardous waste. Ordinary landfills or household waste recycling centers cannot accept asbestos waste.
• All vehicles used to transport asbestos waste must be licensed by the Environmental Agency and fitted with the necessary equipment to safeguard against accidental release of asbestos fibers.
