Asbestos. It's a word that often brings a sense of worry, especially when it lurks in the corners of your home or workplace. Here in Adelaide, where our heritage and modern buildings stand, asbestos is a reality many face. But here's the good news—managing this risk doesn't have to be daunting. With Metro Waste's expertise in our city, you can tackle asbestos safely and effectively.

At Metro Waste, we've dedicated over 30 years to helping Adelaide households and businesses manage their waste smartly and sustainably. Dealing with asbestos requires more than just hard hats and gloves; it demands a deep understanding of safety, health, and environmental care. We don’t just handle waste; we ensure that every piece, especially hazardous materials like asbestos, is dealt with responsibly.

You're not alone in this. Whether you're a homeowner, a business operator, or just someone concerned about the environment, understanding how to remove asbestos safely is crucial. In this blog, we'll walk you through the ins and outs of asbestos—what it is, why it's a concern, and most importantly, how Metro Waste’s proficient team can help you remove it without a hitch. 


Your Safety Comes First

Asbestos, a once-common building material, is now a word that often triggers concern, particularly in older structures around Adelaide. You might find it in various places in your home or business, like insulation, tiles, or shingles. 

But what exactly makes asbestos a matter of concern for you? It’s the health risks—when disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne, posing serious respiratory hazards.


The Risks of Improper Asbestos Disposal

Mishandling asbestos isn't just risky for your health; it can also have legal and environmental repercussions. For your safety and peace of mind, it’s critical to approach its removal with the utmost care. Understanding the dangers becomes crucial, especially in a city like Adelaide, which has a rich mix of old and new buildings.
