Asbestos Identification
Use the below steps in considering whether the product contains asbestos:
Asbestos Fibres Exposed
(Click to Enlarge)
- AGE - If you believe the product was manufactured prior to 1990 then you should consider the product as containing asbestos. If your suburb was generally constructed prior to this time then you should also consider the product as “containing asbestos”. For example if you live in Scarborough it is highly likely that fibre cement products will be asbestos, where as if you live in a new suburb such as Mindarie it would be unlikely the fibre cement product is asbestos.
- MARKING - Look at the product for identification markings that state “Does not contain asbestos” if it has been marked as such the fibre cement product is safe to dispose of in our skip bins. If there is no markings then the product should be treated as containing asbestos. (see Photo)
- COLOUR - Whilst not definitive, asbestos products tend to be darker in colour (grey) where as cement fibre products that are asbestos free are almost white in colour. (see photo)
- FIBRES – If the material your are wanting to dispose of is broken you will be able to observe small asbestos fibres protruding along the broken edge. Cement fibre product will not have fibres. (Please do not break the product to see if it contains fibres as they may be released in to the atmosphere)
- EDGE – Asbestos edges when broken are generally clean like a piece of broken glass. Cement fibre products will give an appearance on the broken edge similar to a piece of torn cardboard (see photo)
- FENCING - if the sheet has 7 curves, it is asbestos, if it has 5 curves it is cement fibre (see photo)

The removal of asbestos greater than 10 metres square, requires a licensed contractor. The contractor must have certification of accredited training.
The person arranging the removal of asbestos has a duty of care to ensure that all persons are informed that the product being disposed of:
- Contains asbestos (minimum 50mm high lettering on outside of sealed asbestos packaging)
- All applicable laws have been followed including hazardous waste transport permits (see below)
- Disposal of asbestos is done at a registered asbestos waste disposal site & not illegally dumped (see below)
- All safety precautions have been taken such as the use of disposable overalls & class 1 disposable breathing respirators.
Asbestos Transport Permit
A permit is required to transport and dispose waste materials containing asbestos.The occupier of the premise that has produced the waste or an occupier’s agent (for example a demolition contractor) must apply to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for a permit to remove the waste.
The current fee for a permit to remove a controlled waste is $48. This permitting system allows the DEP to track the waste from the point of generation to disposal to ensure appropriate handling, transportation and disposal of the waste.
A separate permit is required for each site. A permit is valid for 3 months and allows for as many trips as required for that job.
The permit will state the approved disposal site and will include specific conditions for correct handling, wrapping and disposal.
A private resident transporting up to three sheets of asbestos fencing (1.8 x 1.2 metres) does not require a permit, but must still comply with the general requirements for asbestos disposal in the regulations outlined in this brochure. A private resident transporting more than 3 sheets of asbestos fencing, and no more than 30, will require a permit but will be exempt from the $48 permit fee.
A permit to transport asbestos waste is issued by the DEP.
