Asbestos Waste Disposal Facilities in New Zealand
Last updated June 2026In New Zealand, asbestos waste has to go to a facility authorised by the regional council under the Resource Management Act 1991. Before it's moved, the waste has to be wetted down, double-bagged in heavy-duty polyethylene, and clearly labelled. Sites vary from region to region, and not every landfill takes asbestos, especially friable material.
This page lists authorised disposal facilities that accept asbestos-containing materials across New Zealand, organised by region so removalists and building owners can find the nearest approved drop-off.

These disposal facilities come from the Asbestos List directory and are checked before they go live. The list and its regional breakdown refresh automatically as new sites are approved.
What each site accepts is as reported at listing. Because conditions vary by region, confirm current acceptance terms with the facility and the relevant regional council before transporting waste.
