Suffolk questions
Can I take asbestos to a Suffolk recycling centre?
No. Suffolk Recycling lists asbestos among the materials its centres do not accept. The county offers a booked collection instead.
Does Suffolk County Council collect asbestos?
Yes. The council collects cement-bonded asbestos, up to 50kg per collection, through its contractor, Biffa. The collection must be booked and paid for in advance, and every sheet must be wrapped and labelled before Biffa will take it. We handle larger loads and roofs that are still in place.
Do I book through East Suffolk or West Suffolk Council?
Neither. East Suffolk states that residents do not need to contact the district council, and West Suffolk also refers residents to Biffa.
Which towns in Suffolk do you cover?
We cover the whole county, including Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. Rural addresses are included, and a postcode allows us to confirm the earliest available date.
