Asbestos waste collection around Redditch
Already have asbestos waste on your property, such as old sheets or fragments from an earlier job? Do not break it up, burn it or put it in a skip. A local contractor can collect it wrapped and take it to a permitted site, with paperwork.
Why it cannot go to a skip
Asbestos is classed as hazardous waste. It must be packed, labelled, carried by a registered waste carrier and delivered to a site permitted to accept it. Ordinary skip companies will refuse it, and mixing it into other waste can lead to heavy fines for whoever put it there.
What can be collected
Typical loads include old cement sheets, off-cuts, broken pieces, and bags from an earlier DIY job. Photograph what you have, roughly how much, and where it is stored. If it is already double-wrapped in thick polythene, say so. If it is loose or broken, say that too, because it needs extra care to pick up.
Council tips
Some local authorities and household recycling centres accept small, properly wrapped quantities from householders on strict conditions. Others do not accept asbestos at all. Check with your county council first. If you are in any doubt, a registered contractor is safer.
Who does the work, and what the law expects
Halden Asbestos Removal is an introduction service. We pass your photos and details to an independent contractor, who provides the quote, carries out the work and holds the insurance and any licences required. Most asbestos cement work is non-licensed, but it is still regulated: workers need training, the right equipment and a lawful route for the waste. Some non-licensed work must also be notified to the enforcing authority, and other materials such as insulation board or lagging can need a licensed contractor. The contractor will tell you which applies to your job.

Good to know.
Can I take it to the tip myself?
Only if your local site accepts it and you follow its rules. Many do not. Check first.
Is a small amount a problem?
Small amounts still count as hazardous waste. Do not put them in household bins.
Will I get paperwork?
Yes. A reputable contractor provides a waste transfer note. Keep it.
What if it is broken up?
Do not touch it. Photograph it and ask for advice.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. We are an introduction service. We pass your photos and details to an independent local contractor, who provides the quote, does the work and issues the waste paperwork.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Sending your details costs nothing and carries no obligation. The contractor's written quote is what counts, and you can say no.
What should I send?
Two or three clear photos, the rough size of the roof or area, the age of the building if you know it, and a postcode. A phone photo is fine.
Where we cover.
Redditch, its neighbourhoods and the towns and villages around it.
