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.
