Asbestos is a hazardous substance that was commonly used in building materials until the 1990s. Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious health issues, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. That's why it's essential to ensure that asbestos is disposed of in a safe and responsible manner.

Proper disposal of asbestos waste involves sealing the materials in special, leak-proof containers and transporting them to licensed disposal sites. Asbestos waste must never be disposed of in general waste bins or sent to landfill, as this can pose a serious risk to human health and the environment.
