    Cumberland Council

    Cumberland Council's free asbestos pick up service has been selected for a case study by the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency. Cumberland Council offers its residents a free asbestos collection, to collect small amounts of loose, non-friable asbestos laying dormant on residential properties.
