Asbestos disposal

Services

Averda has years of experience in the removal, transportation, and safe disposal of various types of asbestos and asbestos-contaminated materials. Whether you are a mining operation or require an approved disposal solution for waste removed during demolition or renovation, we can help.

Due to its insulation and fire-resistant properties, asbestos was used extensively during the twentieth century in construction and insulation. Nowadays its carcinogenic properties and dangers to human health are well understood, and its management is highly regulated under section 20 of the Environmental Conservation Act, 1989.

Averda provides end-to-end service to clients requiring the removal, transport and safe disposal of asbestos and/or asbestos-contaminated soil.
