Where asbestos is found in Essex
Corrugated cement sheeting is common on garages, sheds, stables and farm outbuildings. Any building put up before 2000 can contain asbestos, from a garage in Chelmsford to a lean-to near Colchester.
Undisturbed sheets in good condition present an extremely low risk. The risk arises when they are drilled, cut or broken.
Council tip and collection rules in Essex
Essex is served by three separate waste authorities, and the rules that apply depend on the town.
- Essex County Council
- The county council covers Chelmsford, Basildon and Colchester. Asbestos is not accepted at its recycling centres or in the kerbside collection. The council runs a subsidised collection for each household every financial year.
- Southend-on-Sea
- Southend is a separate council. Its recycling centres take household waste only, and the council states that it provides no collection or disposal service for asbestos. Details are on the Southend page.
- Thurrock
- Thurrock is also a separate council. Its Linford recycling centre does not accept asbestos, and the council states that it cannot remove it for residents.
The Essex collection is booked through the council's own request form.
