How do you dispose an asbestos tile?
Asbestos tiles contain harmful asbestos fibers that can be released into the air when disturbed. It is important to dispose of asbestos tiles properly to prevent the fibers from being inhaled.
The following steps should be taken when disposing of asbestos tiles:
1. Wet the tiles thoroughly with water. This will help to prevent the fibers from becoming airborne.
2. Place the tiles in a sealed plastic bag.
3. Label the bag clearly with the words "Asbestos Tiles."
4. Contact your local waste management company to schedule a pickup for the tiles.
It is important to note that asbestos tiles should never be disposed of in the regular trash. This could pose a health risk to sanitation workers and others who come into contact with the tiles.
If you have any questions about how to dispose of asbestos tiles, you can contact your local environmental health agency for assistance.
