The EPA now require that all fibro is treated as though it has asbestos in it, unless you can prove otherwise. To prove otherwise you need to do one of 2 things:

• Pay $40 to the EPA and they will test the fibro and issue a clearance certificate;
• Check the back of the sheet. Look for a green stamp that says "asbestos free".

Otherwise you will need to treat the fibro as though it contains asbestos. This means wrapping each sheet or piece in 2 layers of plastic and sealing it, then order an asbestos bin from us for removal. You cannot put double wrapped fibro/asbestos into a general bin, the plastic may puncture and the bin will have to be charged as though it was all asbestos. There is also a Government fine for that. Please note this is not our rules and all legal Skp Bin companies must comply. if you get someone who does accept fibro unwrapped it is probably best to report them to the Council as they are dumping their bins in the bush to avoid high dumping fees and fines.

Fibrolite is the most common fibro product you will need to check. If the sheet says Wunderlich & has a dimpled back it is probably asbestos. If it is 6mm thick and breaks softly, it is cellulose not asbestos  - see next photo.
