Short answer: no. Asbestos must never go in a general or budget skip bin. It has to be disposed of in a dedicated, licensed asbestos bin with the correct paperwork. If asbestos or fibro is found in a standard bin without prior disclosure, collection is halted on the spot and extra charges or penalties can apply.
At Redcliffe Skips we make safe asbestos disposal straightforward for households, renovators and commercial sites across Redcliffe, Moreton Bay and inner Brisbane. Here’s how it works.
Why asbestos needs a dedicated bin
Asbestos is a regulated waste. It can’t be mixed with general waste, and it must be transported and disposed of at a licensed facility. Our asbestos bins are purpose-built for the safe, legal disposal of asbestos and any material contaminated by it — we take care of the licensed disposal and the compliant paperwork for you.
How to prepare your asbestos bin
You’re responsible for preparing the bin correctly. It’s simple:
- Double-line the bin with 200um (200 micron) builder’s plastic — available at Bunnings.
- Wrap and seal the asbestos, place it in the lined bin, then fold the plastic over the top and seal it completely with tape.
- Stay within the load limit for your bin size and don’t overfill.
Incorrectly prepared or overloaded bins can’t be collected, so it’s worth getting it right. Always let us know it’s for asbestos when you book.
