What matters for waste & environmental in Melbourne
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.

Asbestos Waste Disposal & Transport in Melbourne, FAQs
Can asbestos go in a normal skip bin?
No. Asbestos waste has to be double-wrapped, labelled, carried by a licensed transporter and taken to a site licensed to receive it. Putting it in a general skip is an offence in every state and contaminates the whole load.
What paperwork should I get?
A waste tracking or consignment form where your state requires one, plus the weighbridge or tip receipt naming the receiving facility. That receipt is what proves lawful disposal if anyone asks later.
