You can also take up to six bags or sheets of asbestos to the Garth Road recycling centre (tip) but you must call us on 07342 073100 before your visit to ensure that there is enough space in the container. Please wet the asbestos, double-wrap it and secure it with tape.

Car batteries, car oil, electrical appliances, gas bottles, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes

You can take these to the Reuse and recycling centre.
