Asbestos

Please refer to Asbestos in Victoria for up-to-date asbestos information.

Even suspected asbestos should be disposed of as asbestos.

Asbestos can be disposed of at Bairnsdale Landfill. Deliveries require 24 hours' notice. You will need to phone the landfill on 03 5152 6535 to make an appointment.

Before you arrive at the landfill, asbestos:

• Must be wrapped in two layers of polythene sheeting, approximately 0.2mm think (for example heavy duty builders plastic).

• Must be completely sealed inside the packages with adhesive tape. Packages need to be kept to a manageable size so they can be easily moved.

Landfill staff are not able to assist you with unloading, if you have trouble lifting you may want to bring someone to help you unload.

If asbestos waste is incorrectly wrapped or in unmanageable parcels it will not be accepted.
