Default Asbestos removal

My basement has very old asbestos ceiling tiles. Other than calling in a
company to remove them what other options do I have? Removal won't be a
problem as I can air the basement out fairly well. I have removed several
tiles so far for various reasons and the just pop out in one piece because
the nails are barely holding them in. My intent is to wear a mask, soak
them with a sprayed on solution of Palmalive and water (per the advice of
our duct cleaner) and pop them off. This is where I get stumped. Should
there be any particles can I use a common shop vac to clean it up and where
can I dispose of the tiles? I just have a hard time paying nearly $800 to
have these things removed when I can do it on a Saturday afternoon myself.
