Slough Borough Council

Will the council collect asbestos sheets from my property?

No. Bonded asbestos can be accepted at Chalvey Waste Transfer Station by appointment only and at a charge.  Please telephone the site on 01753 216100 to arrange a time.

Conditions of use for disposing of cement bonded asbestos:

• You must be a resident of Slough Borough and have proof of residency
• You will need to bring proof of address with you, eg a recent utility bill and photo ID (drivers licence or passport)
• The cement bonded asbestos must be arising from a domestic property eg a shed roof, drainpipes, water tank
• You can only bring between 4-6 sheets of asbestos
• You must either bring help with you or bring manageable sized pieces as staff are not able to assist you
• The asbestos must be damped down and then double bagged or wrapped tightly in plastic as this prevents release of dust.
  

Big demolition jobs of asbestos cement structures will require an HSE licensed contractor for works and final disposal. You should contact the public health team on 01753 875255 for advice.
