Safety and conditions of acceptance 

1. All asbestos contaminated material including sheeting and soil must be damped down and double wrapped and sealed with 200 micron plastic. The plastic wrapping must not rupture during the unloading process.
2. Asbestos sheeting and similar must be wrapped in bundles weighing less that 200kg.
3. When using tipping vehicles the maximum load of 200kg parcels is 4 tonne.
4. Asbestos contaminated soil may be received in bulk loads subject to the tipping vehicle being lined and sealed with 2 layers of 200 micron plastic. The plastic wrapping must not rupture during the unloading process. Consideration should be given to the quantity of soil being wrapped to ensure that it can be unloaded without rupture.
5. A Hi-Ab, crane or other suitable lifting device must be provided and used for unloading asbestos pipe produce with a diameter greater than 200mm and in lengths longer than 1.5 metres.
6. Appropriate PPE safety equipment should be used during the removal and disposal process.
7. When wetting down the water spray should be light enough to ensure no fibres are dislodged.
8. Customers with asbestos in an unacceptable condition may be refused entry and the matter referred to SafeWork NSW.
9. All asbestos remains the property of the owner until it is deposited in the hole.
10. Grafton Regional Landfill does NOT provide an unloading service.

Hints

• The use of asbestos approved ‘hazi bags’ is a more effective handling system especially for larger quantities.
• The use of an outside layer of shade mesh will assist tipper loads of asbestos contaminated material from rupturing during the unloading process.
