FAQs
Asbestos - where can I dispose of asbestos waste?
It is illegal to dispose of asbestos waste at other sites, in household rubbish bins, or skips.
The following premises have been licensed by the Environment Protection Authority to accept asbestos waste. This information is based on advice provided by the EPA and was correct at time of posting. Before taking any waste materials to any of the places listed below, however, it is recommended that you check that the company/site still accepts asbestos wastes. Note that there is usually a cost associated with disposing the waste. You can access the latest list on the Waste Asbestos page of the Victorian EPA website, together with advice on how to wrap and transport the material.
Note: always contact the facility to check whether it does in fact accept asbestos waste and under what conditions.
