Definitely not! We know that this option is tempting from a convenience point of view, but did you know that most councils in Sydney now have their rubbish bins tipped into a sorting facility where, at times, workers manually sort through your rubbish? Adding asbestos to your garbage bins puts many unsuspecting people’s lives at risk, so please don’t do it!
From a legal point of view, placement of asbestos in your household garbage bin is an offence. By doing so, you are breaking the law; specifically the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2005.
