Asbestos is a dangerous material that demands careful handling and expert disposal to protect public health and the environment. For decades, Peel Resource Recovery has provided responsible and compliant asbestos disposal services across Perth, Mandurah, Bunbury, and surrounding regions. With an unwavering focus on safety, sustainability, and environmental compliance, our team is proud to be a trusted partner in managing this hazardous material.
As a licensed waste management company with over 60 years of operational experience, Peel Resource Recovery understands the risks associated with asbestos. We help residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Western Australia meet all legal obligations while prioritising community and environmental well-being. Our services are efficient, transparent, and always guided by best practice standards.
What Makes Asbestos So Dangerous?
Asbestos was once commonly used in building materials due to its insulation and fire-resistant properties. However, its microscopic fibres, when disturbed, become airborne and pose serious health risks if inhaled. Prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to severe respiratory conditions including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
This is why asbestos must be removed, transported, and disposed of with extreme caution. DIY handling is not only dangerous—it’s also illegal in many cases without the correct licensing and procedures. Peel Resource Recovery helps you meet these requirements with certified asbestos disposal that ensures complete legal compliance and safety.
Our Licensed Asbestos Disposal Process
Peel Resource Recovery operates under strict environmental and safety regulations when handling asbestos materials. We follow all relevant guidelines established by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and WorkSafe Western Australia.
Our process includes:
-
Safe Receipt & Verification of Materials
We only accept asbestos that has been properly packaged, sealed, and labelled in accordance with Australian standards. Our team checks all loads before acceptance to avoid cross-contamination. -
Secure Transport to Licensed Facilities
Using purpose-built vehicles and containment measures, we transport asbestos to approved disposal locations, reducing public exposure risks during transit. -
Environmentally Compliant Disposal
Asbestos is buried in controlled, sealed landfill areas specifically designated for hazardous materials. This ensures long-term environmental protection and regulatory compliance. -
Detailed Documentation & Reporting
We provide all necessary documentation, including waste transport certificates and disposal records, so clients can meet council, EPA, and legal obligations.
At Peel Resource Recovery, every step of the process is designed to reduce health risks and environmental harm while delivering a seamless and responsible customer experience.
Serving Perth, Mandurah, and Bunbury with Confidence
We understand the needs of Western Australia’s diverse communities—from the bustling streets of Perth to the coastal towns of Mandurah and Bunbury. Our asbestos disposal services are available across these regions, ensuring both urban and regional clients have access to safe, compliant waste solutions.
Whether you’re a homeowner renovating an older property, a builder working on a demolition site, or a council handling public infrastructure upgrades, our team is ready to assist with all your asbestos-related waste challenges.
Types of Asbestos Waste We Accept
Our facilities are equipped to handle a variety of asbestos-containing materials, including:
- Cement sheeting and wall cladding
- Roof tiles and insulation boards
- Pipe lagging and floor underlays
- Old fencing materials
- Contaminated soil (with prior approval and assessment)
Please note that all materials must be double-wrapped in 200-micron plastic, clearly labelled as asbestos waste, and sealed tightly before delivery. This is not just a safety measure—it’s a regulatory requirement. Our team is available to guide you through proper packaging protocols if needed.
Supporting Demolition and Site Remediation Projects
Asbestos is frequently encountered in older buildings during demolition, excavation, or site remediation works. Peel Resource Recovery works hand-in-hand with demolition contractors and civil engineers to provide streamlined asbestos disposal solutions that align with tight timelines and high-volume projects.
Our services support:
- Industrial site clean-ups
- Infrastructure redevelopment
- School and hospital refurbishments
- Commercial strip-outs
- Residential knock-down rebuilds
By offering fast turnaround and flexible disposal schedules, we help clients keep projects on track while meeting all safety and environmental obligations.
A Safer Western Australia Through Education and Compliance
As part of our long-standing commitment to sustainability and public safety, Peel Resource Recovery regularly engages with local councils, builders, and community organisations to raise awareness about asbestos hazards. Many residents still don’t realise their homes or workplaces may contain legacy asbestos products, especially those built before 1990.
Our team offers expert advice on:
- Identifying suspected asbestos materials
- Packaging and handling best practices
- Licensing requirements for removal
- Safe transportation and disposal
Through proactive education and strict compliance, we help make Western Australia a cleaner, safer place to live and work.
Environmental Responsibility at Every Step
At Peel Resource Recovery, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. While asbestos cannot be recycled, the way it is managed can significantly impact the broader ecosystem. Our focus is to contain and neutralise the risk through proper containment, zero-spill transportation, and secure landfill disposal.
We also operate clean fill and construction waste facilities where non-asbestos materials are recovered and recycled to reduce landfill dependency. By combining hazardous waste services with general waste solutions, we offer a holistic, sustainable approach that benefits the entire project lifecycle.
