Asbestos is a highly hazardous material that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. When asbestos shingles are disturbed, they release fibres into the air, which can be inhaled and cause damage to the lungs. It's crucial to handle asbestos materials with care and follow proper disposal procedures to minimize the risks.

If you need to dispose of asbestos shingles in Caerphilly, you'll need to follow the guidelines set by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This involves hiring a licensed asbestos removal contractor, like Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff, to safely remove and dispose of the material.

Asbestos waste can only be disposed of at licensed waste facilities. In Caerphilly, you can take your asbestos shingles to the following locations:

• Caerphilly County Borough Council's Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC)
• Other licensed asbestos waste facilities in the area
  It's essential to contact the facility beforehand to confirm their acceptance of asbestos waste and to arrange for a suitable time for disposal.

When disposing of asbestos shingles, it's crucial to follow safe procedures to minimize the risks. This includes:

• Wrapping the shingles in a sealed bag or container to prevent fibre release
• Labeling the bag or container as "Asbestos Waste"
• Transporting the waste in a secure and covered vehicle
• Disposing of the waste at a licensed facility

Before removing asbestos shingles, it's recommended to conduct an asbestos survey to identify the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials. This involves testing the material to determine its asbestos content and assessing the risks associated with removal.
