Unlicensed asbestos removal in a Victorian workplace is capped twice over. Regulation 250 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 allows no more than 10 square metres of non-friable material in total and no more than one hour of asbestos removal work in any seven day period. 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.

Hazardous Waste Disposal in Geelong, FAQs
What counts as hazardous waste?
Anything corrosive, flammable, toxic, reactive or listed as prescribed waste in your state: solvents, acids, paints, oils, batteries, aerosols, contaminated rags and more. If you are unsure, a contractor can classify it, and guessing is the expensive option.
Who is responsible once it leaves my site?
In most states the duty of care follows the waste. Using an unlicensed operator does not transfer the liability, so check the licence and keep the tracking documents.
