Small amounts of hard-bonded asbestos from residential property will be accepted at the following Household Waste Recycling Centres: Kendal, Barrow, Carlisle, Wigton, Penrith, Workington, Maryport and Frizington. The maximum that will be accepted on any day is 4 sheets, or an equivalent amount. All asbestos must be double-wrapped in plastic and sealed with tape prior to visiting the site. 

DO NOT BREAK UP ASBESTOS SHEETS AS THIS COULD RELEASE THE ASBESTOS FIBRES WHICH ARE A HAZARD TO HEALTH. 

Storage capacity for asbestos at the recycling centre is restricted so please contact the site you intend to use before you go. The contact details are available on the individual recycling centre's page. 

If you need to deal with more than a few sheets of hard-bonded asbestos or any fibrous asbestos you should contact a specialist contractor. If you need advice about dealing with asbestos on your own residential property please contact your local district council.
