What to do with hazardous household waste
Always handle hazardous waste with care. Please do not put any hazardous waste in your general rubbish. Consult our hazardous waste page for information.
Specific advice about asbestos
If you want to take small quantities of asbestos to a HRC you must call us in advance on 0345 678 9007 so we can arrange for you to collect wrapping materials free of charge from the recycling centre. Please don't just turn up with the asbestos. More information can be found on our hazardous waste page.
