Southend-on-Sea City Council guidance

Note

No tip disposal and no council collection

Southend-on-Sea City Council states that its recycling centres accept household waste only, and asbestos is not classed as household waste. The council also states that it provides no collection or disposal service for asbestos. Where asbestos is in good condition, the council says leaving it in place may be the best option.

For sheets or outdoor panels that need removing, contact us on WhatsApp.

Southend: frequently asked questions

Can I take asbestos to a Southend recycling centre?

No. The council states that its recycling centres take household waste only, and asbestos is not included.

Does Southend Council collect asbestos?

No. The council's own guidance states that it provides no collection or disposal service for asbestos. Our collection and disposal service covers sheets that have already been taken down.

Where does the asbestos go once you take it?

We take it away and dispose of it at an approved waste transfer site, so no trip to a disposal site is needed.
