I have some asbestos that I need to get rid of

The council doesn't provide a service to collect asbestos. Only specialised companies can transport asbestos waste.

However, members of the public can dispose of up to 6 sheets of asbestos free of charge at the Redbridge Waste Recycling Centre, Abingdon Road, Oxford, Tel: 01865 721464. It is open Monday-Sunday 8am-5pm, opening until 8pm on Thursdays from 1st April to 30th September.

The asbestos should be dampened with water, wrapped in strong polythene or bagged, and sealed. Upon arrival you must report to the site office, where you will be told which skip to put the asbestos in. It is ESSENTIAL to phone the site beforehand to make sure the asbestos skip is available, as you will not be able to leave it anywhere else on the site if the skip is full.
