Do you need to dispose of asbestos?
Then you should pay special attention to the Danish Working Environment Authority's new rules for handling asbestos. Asbestos can be seriously hazardous to your health. That's why there are now three new rules you need to follow.
Max 15 eternit sheets
At the recycling centre you can deliver up to 15 eternit sheets. If you have more, you must book a haulier to transport the sheets to our landfill at Audebo Environmental centre. Before the hauler arrives at our landfill, the sheets must be wrapped in two layers of dense, closed plastic or in big bags.
Asbestos is typically found in:
- Roof coverings such as eternit roofs
- Outdoor and indoor cladding panels (eternit panels)
- Ceiling and wall panels (from 1954 to 1980)
- Vinyl (from 1930 to 1980)
- Screed floors (from 1920 to 1980)
- Plaster (from 1953 to 1980)
- Tile adhesives (from 1962 to 1979)
- Fillers and sealants (until 1972)
- Pipe insulation (until 1972)
- Insulation for electrical cables (from 1930 to 1980)
- Air ducts (eternit)
