Asbestos is a hazardous material that requires careful handling and disposal. White asbestos, also known as chrysotile, is one of the most common types of asbestos found in buildings. If you're looking to dispose of white asbestos waste in Caerphilly, it's essential to follow the proper procedures to ensure safe and compliant disposal.

In Caerphilly, asbestos waste disposal is strictly regulated by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. As a resident or business owner, you must ensure that you dispose of asbestos waste in a way that prevents harm to human health and the environment.

When removing asbestos waste, it's crucial to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe handling procedures to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air. Once removed, the asbestos waste must be disposed of in a licensed facility that accepts hazardous waste.

In Caerphilly, there are several licensed facilities that accept asbestos waste for disposal. These facilities have the necessary equipment and training to handle and dispose of asbestos waste safely. Here are three licensed facilities in Caerphilly:

Before taking your asbestos waste to a licensed facility, please ensure that it is:

• Double-bagged in sealed, labeled bags
• Wrapped in a secure enclosure to prevent leakage
• Clearly labeled as "Asbestos Waste"
