Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and other industries until the 1980s, is incredibly dangerous. It can lead to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious respiratory illnesses in the long term. As a result, it is important to dispose of asbestos safely and legally.

The proper disposal of asbestos involves containing, wetting, and double-bagging the material, then disposing of it at a licensed waste facility. Attempting to dispose of asbestos on your own, even in small quantities, can be dangerous and illegal. It is best to rely on professional asbestos disposal services to ensure that the substance is properly handled and disposed of.
