Unlicensed asbestos removal in a Victorian workplace is capped twice over.

The time cap does not exist in the other states.

EPA Victoria tells customers what to ask for. Your removalist should hold a permission to transport reportable priority waste, use Waste Tracker, and give you the Waste Tracker waste record showing the asbestos reached a lawful place.

There is no Victorian law requiring a council to run a hard waste collection. The Victorian Auditor-General found only 43 of 79 councils offered one at all in 2019-20, some as a whole-suburb kerbside pick-up and some as an on-call booking, so check your own council before you plan a clear-out.

Contaminated Soil Removal & Disposal in Geelong, FAQs
Why does contaminated soil cost so much to remove?
The soil has to be sampled and classified first, then carted by a licensed transporter to a facility licensed for that classification. Disposal gate fees rise steeply with the classification, so the sampling that sets it is worth doing properly.
Can contaminated soil be treated instead of dumped?
Often yes. Soil washing, bioremediation and on-site containment can be cheaper than landfill for large volumes, and a consultant will compare the options against the disposal cost before you commit.
How many businesses will contact me?
Up to 5 local businesses can pick up your request. You compare their quotes and choose, there's no obligation to go ahead with any of them.
Is it free to get quotes?
Yes. Getting quotes through Blue Collar News Services is completely free for you. The businesses pay us; you never do.
