Asbestos Waste Disposal

Safe, compliant coordination of asbestos waste collection and disposal through licensed carriers and authorised facilities.

Legal Requirements for Asbestos Waste

Asbestos waste is classified as hazardous waste under UK regulations. It cannot be disposed of through normal waste channels. The law requires that asbestos waste is collected by a licensed waste carrier, transported safely, and disposed of at a facility authorised to accept hazardous waste.

Failure to dispose of asbestos waste correctly is a criminal offence and can result in significant fines and enforcement action from SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) and the HSE. Onea Environmental coordinates the entire disposal process to ensure full compliance.

What We Coordinate

Correct packaging, labelling, and sealing of asbestos waste on site
Collection by a licensed waste carrier registered with SEPA
Transport to an authorised hazardous waste disposal facility
Waste consignment notes documenting the full chain of custody
Copies of all disposal documentation provided to the client
Compliance records suitable for audit and regulatory review

Types of Asbestos Waste

We coordinate the disposal of all types of asbestos waste generated from our removal and encapsulation works, including:

Asbestos cement sheets and panels
Textured coating residue
Floor tiles and adhesive
Contaminated PPE and sheeting
Pipe lagging and insulation debris
Double-bagged ACM waste
HEPA filter waste
Decontamination materials

Important

Asbestos waste must never be placed in general skips, domestic bins, or recycling streams. Even small quantities must be handled as hazardous waste. If you have asbestos waste from a previous project and are unsure how to dispose of it, contact us for guidance.

Disposal After Removal Works

Waste disposal is an integral part of every non-licensed removal and licensed removal coordination project we manage. The disposal documentation we provide — waste consignment notes, carrier details, and facility confirmation — forms part of the compliance record that dutyholders need to retain. For a full overview of the regulatory framework, see our compliance and safety standards page.
