Wrapping and Transportation of Asbestos Waste in Edinburgh and the Lothians

​When asbestos is removed, it must be handled, packaged, and transported in line with strict UK hazardous waste regulations. At AsbestosDisposal.uk, we ensure every step is fully compliant to protect health, safety, and the environment.

How Asbestos Waste Must Be Wrapped

• ​Double Bagging – Loose asbestos waste is placed in UN-approved asbestos waste bags. These are red inner bags with clear hazard warnings, securely tied, and then placed inside a clear outer bag with asbestos labelling.
• Sheet Materials – Asbestos cement sheets, insulation board, and large panels are double-wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene sheeting and sealed with strong tape to prevent fibre release.
• Dust Control – Any debris or dust is dampened and carefully sealed before being bagged to prevent airborne fibres.
• Labelling – Every package is clearly labelled with the asbestos warning sign in accordance with the Carriage of Dangerous Goods Act.

Transportation of Asbestos Waste in Edinburgh and the Lothians

• ​Licensed Carriers Only – Asbestos waste can only be transported by companies with a valid Waste Carrier Licence and ADR-trained drivers.
• Sealed Vehicles – Waste is carried in fully enclosed vehicles or lockable containers to prevent leaks or fibre escape during transit.
• Consignment Notes – Each load of asbestos waste is tracked with a hazardous waste consignment note, providing a full legal paper trail from collection to disposal.
• Approved Facilities – All asbestos collected is delivered only to licensed hazardous waste facilities for final disposal.

​
By following these procedures, we guarantee the safe, legal, and environmentally responsible management of asbestos waste throughout the UK.
