Asbestos waste is highly hazardous, and strict procedures must be followed during disposal to avoid contamination and exposure. Any suspected asbestos waste should be tested by a licensed laboratory, and if confirmed, disposed of safely. For Auckland Asbestos Pick Up and Disposal, a licensed asbestos company must be contracted to manage the waste appropriately.
These experts have the skills to properly wrap and secure the waste, preventing further exposure. Only commercial clients with set accounts can dispose of asbestos waste in licensed Auckland landfills, as transfer stations do not accept it. Proper disposal includes wrapping asbestos in heavy-duty, 200-micron thick polythene bags or sheeting, securely sealing, and clearly marking it as asbestos. Licensed companies ensure these procedures are followed to protect public health and the environment.
ACM Removals offers an asbestos pick up service and disposal according to regulations at a licensed landfill. That includes proper wrapping, transporting, and disposal. Wrapping of asbestos is done with new heavy-duty 200 m (minimum thickness) polythene bags or heavy-duty 200 m (minimum thickness) polythene sheeting, as per regulations. While packing asbestos, controlled wetting of the asbestos waste is carried out to minimize asbestos dust emissions during bag or polythene sealing, or if the bag or wrapped bundles rupture. The bags are closed with a gooseneck tie and marked clearly to show that they are containing asbestos waste.
Transporting of asbestos from the site where there is no bin is done in a tipper truck or a trailer. They are double lined with polythene (minimum 200 m thickness) and sealed properly. Asbestos waste transported this way is disposed of as soon as reasonably practicable. Transporting of skip bins is done by accredited and licensed companies, according to regulations.
Disposal of asbestos is done at a local or territorial authority landfill authorized under the Resource Management Act 1991 to accept asbestos waste.
Our company is also working with Auckland Council, removing asbestos waste that was improperly disposed of around Auckland. This service enables our company to contribute to the reduction of public space contamination through illegal disposal of asbestos.
