Cambridgeshire County Council rules
At the recycling centres
The county council classes asbestos as hazardous waste that must only go to a permitted specialist facility. Its recycling centres do not accept it.
Through the council
A separate disposal service covers cement-bonded asbestos up to the equivalent of two roof sheets, limited to one bag a year per home. Applications are made online.
The service is for asbestos found in the home and removed by the resident. The council posts out a bag and a permit, and the resident takes the bag to a waste transfer station at Alconbury, March or Waterbeach. The council does not collect from the address, and waste from larger home improvement or demolition work is not accepted.
Where it is unclear whether waste contains asbestos, the county advises treating it as asbestos. Our asbestos testing confirms the material.
