of properly.

Asbestos waste should only be handled by a licensed disposal site.

However, some “cowboy” asbestos removal companies will charge you to remove the material only to illegally dump it to save on the cost of disposing of it correctly.

Across the country, there were 3,226 cases of asbestos being dumped mainly on highways and footpaths and in back alleyways.

In Calderdale, asbestos was flytipped 17 times in 2017-18 – down from 19 occasions the year before. Selected stores. Subject to availability. Online minimum spend will apply.
