Asbestos is hazardous to health. You may therefore never put this material in a container or put it with the bulky waste.
Do you have more than 35 m2 of asbestos? Then you must have it removed by a certified asbestos removal company.
Do you have less than 35 m2 of asbestos and it will not be damaged during removal and transport? Then, as a private individual, you can remove asbestos yourself and hand it in to the Avalex recycling centres. How does that work?
Then, as a private individual, you can remove asbestos yourself and hand it in to the Avalex recycling centres. How does that work?
Step 1
First report to the municipality in which you live that you are going to hand in asbestos at the recycling centre. You can report this at omgevingsloket.nl. You will then receive an answer from the municipality. Rules may differ per municipality. At the end of the message you will find the link to information about asbestos removal in your municipality.
Step 2
Then pack the object well, in special foil or bags. Upon presentation of your permit issued by the environmental counter, you can collect packaging material at the recycling center. You are not allowed to pack asbestos at the recycling centre.
Step 3
As soon as you take the well-packed asbestos to the recycling centre, you must have the printed permit from the municipality with you. After delivery you will receive a weighing receipt from the employees, which you must keep with the permit.
Let op! You may offer small objects, such as eternit planters, without a permit, but they must be packed in the special bags that you pick up at the recycling centre.
