Asbestos

With the increase in demolition works within the City of Christchurch and surrounding areas, asbestos will need to be removed as buildings and their sites are cleared.

Asbestos presents a severe threat to human health so must be treated with caution at all times.  When handling the material, please ensure full protective clothing including face masks is used.  Please view the link below to the Department of Labour web site covering the safe handling and removal of this material.

All recovered asbestos must be taken to the EcoDrop in Bromley under these strict guidelines.

  • Loads must be separated into 1 tonne lots
  • Each lot must be tightly wrapped in heavy plastic sheeting
  • Asbestos is to be dropped into the designated area only at Metro EcoDrop

If a delivery of asbestos does not meet the above criteria then we may refuse to accept the material until it has been correctly sealed.
