Waste Disposal Facilities in New South Wales, Australia

Licensed facilities that accept and process asbestos waste.

You can only dispose of asbestos at a landfill licensed to accept it, and the NSW EPA advises phoning ahead: some sites need 24 hours' notice and have their own packaging and delivery rules.

Loads of 100 kg or more of asbestos waste, or 10 m² or more of asbestos sheeting, must be tracked. Business transporters use the EPA's Integrated Waste Tracking Solution, which replaced WasteLocate in February 2024. Householders who carry their own load report it on the EPA's household form within 24 hours of delivery.

Removal work itself is regulated by SafeWork NSW, and licensed removalists usually arrange disposal as part of the job.

Asbestos has been banned across Australia since 31 December 2003. Homes in New South Wales built or renovated before 1990 are the most likely to contain it.

Call ahead to confirm the facility accepts your type and amount of asbestos, and check its fees, booking and packaging rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I dispose of asbestos waste in New South Wales?

Asbestos cannot go in general or kerbside waste anywhere in Australia. In New South Wales it must be wrapped, labelled and taken to a facility specifically licensed to accept asbestos. Not every transfer station or landfill takes it, so check the site accepts asbestos and book in before arriving. SafeWork NSW and your local council can point you to the nearest licensed facility.

How must asbestos waste be packaged and transported in New South Wales?

Asbestos waste should be kept damp to suppress fibres, wrapped in heavy (200 micron) plastic and labelled as asbestos before transport, with larger loads often needing waste-tracking documentation. These handling rules are consistent across New South Wales; the facility you use will confirm its gate requirements and any paperwork needed.

Where can I dispose of asbestos waste?

It has to go to a licensed facility. You cannot put it in household bins, skip bins, or recycling. In Australia, your local council or state environment protection authority can tell you which tips accept asbestos in your area. In New Zealand, it goes to Class A landfills authorised under regional council plans.

How must asbestos waste be packaged for transport?

The waste needs to be double-wrapped in heavy-duty polyethylene sheeting (at least 200 microns thick) or sealed in approved asbestos waste bags. Label each package clearly with "CAUTION - ASBESTOS" and the fibre type if you know it. Keep the material damp while wrapping to stop fibres becoming airborne. Most states and territories also require a waste tracking certificate or consignment document for transport.

What does it cost to dispose of asbestos?

Gate fees at Australian tips generally sit between $70 and $300+ per tonne. It depends on the state, the facility, and whether the material is bonded or friable. Friable asbestos costs more because of the extra handling involved. Some councils run discounted or free disposal days for small residential amounts, so it is worth checking with yours. New Zealand Class A landfill fees are in a similar range. These are gate fees only and do not cover removal, transport, or packaging.
