Disposal of Asbestos

Never burn any asbestos-containing waste material.

Non-asbestos-containing demolition debris and debris that contains only non-regulated roofing or flooring may be disposed of at a SCDES-approved disposal site for cellulosic or inert waste. Waste consolidation activities involving grinding, cutting, or compacting of non-friable asbestos-containing materials will subject these materials to more stringent State and Federal asbestos disposal regulations.
