Hello, Edmonton! It’s your favorite blog about Asbestos. As you probably know, Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction and manufacturing in Edmonton, AB, and across Canada until the 1980s. While the material has many useful properties, it is also highly toxic when inhaled, and exposure to asbestos can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Because of these health risks, it is crucial that asbestos waste is handled and disposed of properly.


Once you have identified the asbestos waste, you will need to arrange for its safe disposal. It is important to note that asbestos waste cannot be disposed of in your regular trash or recycling. Instead, it must be taken to a facility that is authorized to handle hazardous waste, such as an industrial landfill.


At Brylex, we specialize in the safe and efficient disposal of hazardous waste, including asbestos. Our team has years of experience handling hazardous materials and is trained to ensure that all waste is disposed of in accordance with local, provincial, and federal regulations. We offer a range of services to our clients, including on-site assessments, packaging and labeling of hazardous waste, and transportation to an authorized disposal facility.


Assuming you know how to safely identity, label and package hazardous waste like Asbestos there is really three routes you can take to dispose or your asbestos:


  1. Hire a hauling company to pick up your waste and dispose of it at a certified landfill

  2. Take all your waste to a certified landfill site yourself

  3. Or drop off your waste at our local site in Edmonton


At our local drop off site, both contractors and residents have the convenient option of disposing of a couple of bags without any fees for a bin, fuel, weigh-in station, and local landfill site disposal. However, please keep in mind that the rates for asbestos disposal may differ due to the specific factors required for its disposal at the landfill sites.


If you need to dispose of 10-20 bags and want to avoid the additional costs of hiring a hauler, renting a bin, and all associated premiums at the landfill site, our local site in Edmonton is the perfect solution for you. At a cost of $11.99 per bag, you can easily get rid of those pesky waste items hassle-free.


If you have any questions regarding the safe packaging and labeling of hazardous waste, and transportation of asbestos our helpful technicians would be happy to assist and guide. We would hate for anyone to get sick taking the self directed route of disposal.


Almost forgot, if you are looking for a certified asbestos disposal site in Alberta, look no further than Claystone Waste, in Beaver County, AB.
