Special instructions

All asbestos waste must be packaged properly for safe handling and disposal. See the Acceptable Industry Practices for asbestos for more details.

  • Must be double-bagged with polyethylene sheets (6-mil) 
  • Material must be wetted prior to being bagged.
  • All bags must be double-wrapped and sealed (with duct tape or similar products) to prevent a release of material at the landfill. 

If you are a business, please see our commercial asbestos page.

Improperly packaged asbestos may be rejected or charged a Hard-to-Handle surcharge.
