Asking a WA removalist for a controlled waste tracking form is the wrong question. Regulation 3(5) of the Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 excludes asbestos from the carrier licence and tracking regime, so there is no tracking form and no quantity threshold for asbestos transport in WA.
