Domestic asbestos waste must be treated as hazardous waste and
as such needs to be handled carefully. Domestic householders can
refer to the leaflet titled Handling Household Asbestos in
Somerset for further information.
For Industrial or Commercial hazardous waste enquiries please
contact Somerset County Council on 0845 3459188 or the
Environment Agency directly who will be able to offer
advice.

bonded asbestos are:
- Taunton
