The Wrekin Housing Trust provides information on the safe disposal of asbestos-containing materials5:
Wet small amounts of asbestos waste and put it in a strong plastic bag- seal this tightly and clearly mark it ASBESTOS.
Do not break up large asbestos-cement sheets- they do not need to be sealed in bags but should be wrapped in polythene or similar sheeting and disposed of as asbestos waste.
Do not put any asbestos waste in the dustbin
