Asbestos Transport & Disposal
Asbestos is a hazardous material made up of long fibres. Due to its heat and chemical resistance, it was widely used as a material for insulation, fireproofing and as a component of other building materials. It can cause lung cancer, asbestosis, mesothelioma and other health issues. It has been illegal to use asbestos as a building material since 2003. However, many buildings built prior to 1999 contain asbestos.
It is common for people to prioritise the removal of asbestos from their buildings but overlook the subsequent transport and disposal requirements. When asbestos is removed from buildings, it is very important that it is wrapped, loaded and transported away in a safe and secure manner. McCormack Haulage Services can take care of the transport of the asbestos, taking it to RILTA for safe disposal and giving you peace of mind.

Asbestos removal from buildings is very important to protect the help of your family, friends or staff. In some circumstances, property owners may choose to undertake the removal of asbestos themselves, in other circumstances, they are required to do so by local authorities. In either occurrence, it is important to have the asbestos properly transported and disposed of. With McCormack Haulage Services the correct transport and disposal procedures are always followed.
