Asbestos Hauling

Salt Spring Garbage is the only local company certified and licensed to carry bagged Asbestos-containing material off the Island.

What is Asbestos?

Ah, asbestos, that sneaky natural silicate mineral rocking its fabulous fibrous outfit! It's a smooth, suave, grey fireproof-fashionista that's been turning up the heat resistance in walls, ceilings, rooftops, gutters, facings, pipes, floors, shingles, fireplaces, and flues. This sizzling sensation once ruled the insulation and fireproofing kingdom in homes and commercial buildings but, alas, its reign was short-lived. You see, like a tragic Shakespearean character, asbestos met its downfall when we discovered its villainous impact on the environment and our health.
