You are likely to have a great deal of trouble disposing of them. First
try your council refuse dept - most no longer take asbestos - some have
discount schemes with specialist waste handlers. It's quite likely you
will have to pay for a specialist service. They definitely cannot go in
a general waste skip (you should have been given info on the receipt
about what can go in) - you could face prosecution if you did hide it
in a general waste skip (or the skip company will charge a penalty fee
to sort it out).

When I got rid of mine, Cambridgeshire refuse dept still took asbestos
(they don't now),

So where does it go now, by the roadside perhaps?....

but only "1 sheet" - however the helpful guy on the
phone said "get rid of 1 sheet at each site". However there was no-one
watching next to the asbestos disposal bin - woosh, away it all went.
