Asbestos disposal

Asbestos

Residential loads (of up to 10m²) of waste containing or potentially containing harmful asbestos can be safely disposed of at Mudgee Waste Facility for FREE. Bookings must be made no later than 24 hours prior to disposal date.

Transport vehicles must ensure asbestos waste is correctly wrapped to ensure no asbestos fibres can escape and is properly secured. Appropriate clothing, footwear and personal protective equipment must be worn. 

For bonded asbestos greater than 10m²/100kgs and/or all friable asbestos can only be removed by a licensed contractor. Waste generators, transporters and receiving facilities have regulatory responsibilities to track the transport and disposal of hazardous and other high-risk waste. Integrated Waste Tracking Solutions (IWTS) must be used. - visit https://kpmgorigins.com/iwts or phone 02 9585 6303 for more information.

To protect facility workers and visitors to the facility there are strict requirements on unloading of asbestos including no tipping and skidding of loads.
