Wrapping rules
Asbestos must be double wrapped in plastic at least 200 microns thick, sealed with tape and declared at the weighbridge. Commercial loads go to Mugga Lane only, by appointment, with an Asbestos Disposal Form 2 days before delivery (ACT City Services). Never break or cut sheets to fit a package size.
Common questions
Small domestic loads are accepted, with up to 60 kg in 3 packages free, each wrapped and sealed, no bigger than 600 x 600 x 200 mm and 20 kg. But the ACT has no general homeowner allowance to remove bonded asbestos yourself, other than removal incidental to minor or routine maintenance. Fees and rules can change, so always call before you go.
No. Disposal is included in our fixed price.
No, it's card payment only.
Yes. After we measure up you get one all-inclusive written price. It doesn't change unless you ask us to add something.
A licensed removalist must give WorkSafe ACT written notice at least 5 days before licensed removal starts, and WorkSafe ACT warns people to be wary of anyone offering to start sooner after a quote is accepted.
We have flexible payment options if cash flow's tight. Ask when we measure up and we'll set it out with your quote.
