Why Safe Asbestos Removal is so Important!

Why? Asbestos, once disturbed, releases tiny toxic fibres that cause a myriad of diseases when inhaled. They can cause cancer and a range of lung diseases. You should never dispose of your asbestos yourself if you're not a professional. Safe asbestos disposal is important because:

• Illegal: Due to the toxicity of asbestos, illegal disposal of asbestos attracts fines in Adelaide. Unless you're a professional, you shouldn't be handling the disposal of your asbestos-containing waste. 

• Toxicity: You could be putting yourself and everyone around in danger while you're handling asbestos. It causes lung cancer and many other diseases that you wouldn't want to deal with. 

• Environmental danger: Unlawful asbestos disposal puts your environment in danger. The fibres are so fine that they could affect those nearby. And if the asbestos waste gets to water, it will harm all surrounding aquatic life.

For everyone's safety and the environment, dispose of your asbestos properly. And the only way you can do this is to get experts to handle it. Metro waste 's team of experts is here to help you safely handle your waste. So how do we assist you? Here are some of our services:

Provision of equipment

Protecting yourself is the first thing you should do while handling asbestos. It would be best to have full-body suits, masks, and gloves. And that's not all. If you decide to dispose of your asbestos yourself, we can assist you. We have helpful resources such as plastic and tape that you'll use to wrap the asbestos-containing materials. We also provide step-by-step assistance that'll effectively help you handle it before the experts arrive. 

Commercial and residential handling

Working on a huge construction project will leave you dealing with a lot of waste after. Metro waste is capable of handling commercial waste. All you need to do is tell us the location of the project and the pick-up date. We could also provide your workers with safety equipment, so they're well protected. 

If you're doing renovations, you'd need our help, especially if you have kids. First, put them out of harm's way by sealing off the area with our safety equipment and resources. Then, once renovations are done, call us, and we'd be right there to pick it up.

Skip hire

You can make asbestos disposal easier by renting one of our skips. Safely place the bales of plastic-wrapped asbestos inside the skips. It's important that you wrap the asbestos in plastic to prevent the fibres from spreading. Skip bins would help you finish the clean-up earlier, especially if it's a home renovation.

Before you start your construction project, contact us . We have bins for hire and are available to pick up your waste, whether asbestos, household, etc.
