You can dispose of domestic, cement bonded asbestos at the Purton, Amesbury and Warminster Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) by appointment only. Do not take asbestos to any other household recycling centre as they are not licensed to dispose of it.
To make an appointment, contact the relevant recycling centre below between 10am and 4pm to arrange a time and date to dispose of the asbestos.
- Amesbury - 01980 623160
- Purton - 01793 778205
- Warminster - 01985 211427
Make sure you comply with the following:
- take proof of address to your appointment e.g. photo ID or a recent utility bill
- you must be a Wiltshire resident (excluding Swindon) and have proof of residency
- the cement bonded asbestos must be from your property e.g. a shed roof, drainpipes, water tank
- you can bring a maximum of 12 sheets of cement bonded asbestos no bigger than 1.5 metres x 2.5 metres (do not break the asbestos to fit these dimensions)
- you must dampen down the sheets to suppress the dust
- you must wrap all of the asbestos in plastic before taking it to the site
- you must wear your own protective equipment to dispose of the waste: disposable gloves; disposable mask (type FFP3 recommended by the HSE); disposable overalls (type 5 recommended by the HSE); and you put these in the skip after use
- bring along help if required as staff are unable to assist
Failure to comply with any of the points above may result in you not being able to dispose of your asbestos.
If you need to dispose of cement bonded asbestos from a business, or the material has been removed by a builder or any other type of asbestos, contact a specialist contractor.
