The purpose of this document is to provide operators with a brief guide on how best to manage asbestos contaminated demolition wastes and to determine when it is necessary to consign that material as special waste to a site authorised to accept special waste.
In Scotland, the Special Waste Regulations 1996 (as amended) set out procedures to be adhered to when disposing of, carrying, and receiving special waste. The regulations are the main piece of legislation covering special waste arising in Scotland.
