Asbestos guide Gwynedd Council has 3
Recycling Centres that will accept 💶 Cement Bonded Asbestos - Caernarfon, Dolgellau and
Garndolbenmaen Members of the public are encouraged to contact Galw Gwynedd on 01766
💶 771000 to make prior arrangements before arriving on site with cement bonded asbestos.
Only Cement Bonded Asbestos will be accepted 💶 at these Recycling Centres, of which,
should be of reasonable quantity to that which may be found in domestic circumstances
💶 or very light DIY work. Cement Bonded Asbestos is not accepted at the Recycling Centres
where the asbestos is produced 💶 by a contractor who is engaged by the householder to
undertake any construction, modification, repair and maintenance or demolition of 💶 his
/her premises. Examples such as entire garage or garden shed roofs would not be seen as
reasonable and due 💶 to the inherent risks of asbestos the work should be undertaken and
disposed of by a competent contractor. Any enquiries 💶 suggesting that such quantities
are present should be directed to Natural Resources Wales website or helpline at 0300
065 3000. 💶 Examples of Cement Bonded Asbestos products are gutters, flue pipes, rain
water pipes, soil pipes, roofing sheets, walling sheets etc. 💶 Cement bonded asbestos
materials should not be cut. It is advised that the house holder dampen the sheeting
with water 💶 prior to wrapping in order to minimise any fibre release. Cement bonded
asbestos accepted at the Recycling Centres must be 💶 double wrapped in plastic, the
plastic sealed by means of suitable tape. Upon arrival at the Recycling Centres the
house 💶 holder or any other person acting on their behalf must notify the site staff that
they have cement bonded asbestos 💶 to dispose. Site staff will then check that the cement
bonded asbestos is suitably packaged (double wrapped, sealed and in 💶 clean condition).
If the site staff are happy with packaging and condition they will then provide
detailed instructions for site 💶 disposal. If the site staff are not happy with the
condition of the packaging it will not be permitted onto 💶 site. If this should occur,
ill not be permitted onto site. members of the public will be advised to package 💶 the
waste correctly before returning to the site. Site staff will not handle or assist with
the loading or unloading 💶 of the ACM, this will be the duty of the person bringing it
onto site.
