No it won't. You can take it to the appropriate local amenity waste
site yourself.


That's not what I've been advised by the local council:

"The classification of asbestos as special waste, under the Special
Waste Regulations 1996, requires that a specialist asbestos
contractor must be used in the disposal of the material. Regulations
also stipulate that asbestos waste can only be transported by
carriers licensed to transport special waste and disposal must take
place at suitably licensed sites. It cannot be taken to Household
Waste Recycling Centres."

HTH,
