If you have an old asbestos fence on your property that needs to be removed, you may be wondering how to dispose of it safely and legally. Asbestos, particularly Class B non-friable asbestos found in fences, must be handled with care to prevent exposure to harmful fibres. At CSS, we provide professional asbestos pickup and disposal services, ensuring that your asbestos waste is removed and disposed of according to New Zealand regulations.
Understanding Class B Asbestos (Non-Friable)
Class B asbestos, also known as non-friable asbestos, is commonly found in older fencing materials, roofing, and cladding. Unlike friable asbestos, which easily crumbles and becomes airborne, non-friable asbestos is bonded with cement or other materials, making it more stable. However, once it becomes broken, or deteriorating, the risk of fibre release increases, making professional removal essential.
Why You Can’t Dispose of Asbestos in General Waste
Asbestos waste cannot be thrown in regular rubbish bins or taken to standard waste disposal facilities. It requires careful handling, transport, and disposal at approved locations to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. Improper disposal not only poses a health risk but can also lead to legal penalties.
How We Can Help
At CSS, we offer a safe and convenient pickup service for small amounts of Class B asbestos, including:
- Old asbestos fences that have been dismantled
- Asbestos cement panels from sheds or garages
- Small amounts of asbestos-contaminated debris
Our team follows strict safety procedures, including proper wrapping, transport, and disposal at licensed asbestos waste facilities.
