The Dangers That Come With Asbestos and Why You Need to Dispose of It Correctly!

Despite its once-celebrated utility in construction, asbestos has a dark side, and we all need to be aware of it. Not to worry, particularly if you are renovating or residing in one of those classic Adelaide homes! You've got a friend in Metro Waste. 

With over 30 years (yep, you read that right!) of passionately serving our community, we're here to share all the nitty-gritty about asbestos, its dangers, and, most importantly, how to dispose of it safely.

What Exactly Is Asbestos?

Asbestos, simply put, is a naturally occurring mineral once adored for its fire-resistant qualities. Yep, builders used to love it. But, as with many things, there's more than meets the eye. Although popular back in the day, it’s now a word that, when mentioned, might raise eyebrows.

The Hidden Dangers of Asbestos

Sure, at face value, asbestos might seem harmless. But here's the kicker: Exposure can lead to dire health complications. Think of issues like asbestosis and lung cancer. Even a minor brush with asbestos can cast a long, shadowy health cloud. A real eye-opener, isn’t it?
