Asbestos

The following guidelines will assist you to correctly dispose of your commercial asbestos waste at the Millar Road Landfill Facility.  

  • Ensure the asbestos is separated from other material for disposal.
  • Double wrap the asbestos in heavy duty plastic (available from most hardware stores) and seal it with adhesive tape to prevent asbestos fibres from being released.
  • Approved vehicles are allowed on the tip face for direct disposal. All other asbestos must be hand unloaded.
  • No tipping of asbestos is allowed except from a hook truck and with prior approval.
  • Label the asbestos the words "CAUTION ASBESTOS" in letters not less than 50mm high.

All disposals must be booked 24 hours prior to delivery (or as soon as practicable) with the landfill by following the waste booking process.  All disposals must be delivered to the Millar Road Landfill Facility before 3pm each day.

Wrapped asbestos is $153 per tonne (with Landfill Levy exemption) and does not require a contaminated waste application form.

Asbestos Contaminated Soil and Sand

The DWER requires that anyone disposing of soil and/or sand contaminated with asbestos obtain a Waste Acceptance Approval Certificate prior to its disposal at site. A Waste Acceptance Approval (WAA) Certificate can be obtained through Rock Port.

A number of safety measures should be taken to prevent asbestos fibres escaping during removal and transport. These can be discussed with the Landfill as part of the process of obtaining your WAA Certificate.

24 hours’ notice must be given to the facility prior to disposal of asbestos.  Please call 9528 0333 (Monday to Friday 8am – 4.30pm) to book or book online by following the waste booking service.
