About asbestos
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a natural silicate mineral known for its fibrous and fire-resistant properties. Historically used in construction materials like walls, ceilings, roofs and pipes, asbestos was valued for its insulation and fireproofing qualities. Its use has been largely discontinued due to the serious health risks it poses.
How do you transport asbestos?
Handling asbestos-containing materials requires careful precautions. Our team is equipped to transport asbestos materials safely and in compliance with regulations. We provide sealed, six-sided containers for friable asbestos materials, and we will assist with the necessary documentation to streamline your asbestos transfer.
How do I prepare asbestos for pickup?
- Double-bag your asbestos materials in 6-mil bags and secure them with duct tape or tuck tape.
- Complete a manifest (available at our office for $20).
- For loads over 1,000 kg, include a BCG number. Register for a BCG number.
Asbestos is never allowed in our regular rental bins.
