While there may be no specific law preventing someone from burying asbestos waste in a garden, the demolition and removal of asbestos is a highly regulated activity. Once buried, the land surrounding the site where the asbestos has been buried becomes classed as 'contaminated'.
These tiny particles mix in with dust and can stay airborne for hours. Many sources suggest fibers can stay airborne for 48 – 72 hours. But the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a wider range. The EPA reports a range of 4 – 80 hours for asbestos fibers to settle from a height of 9 feet.
You can only dispose of asbestos in locations specifically designed for hazardous waste and you can only dispose of cement bonded asbestos at your local recycling and household waste sites, such as the local tip.
As per HSE guidelines, asbestos waste must be double bagged and taped securely in UN approved asbestos packaging. You can buy approved asbestos waste bags online and from various DIY stores. We won't accept waste in split or torn packaging.
