Asbestos being fly-tipped in Devon countryside
A council has said that there has been a ‘worrying rise’ in the amount of asbestos being fly-tipped in remote areas of the countryside.
Most recently, a pile of corrugated asbestos boards were found next to a footpath at Bickham Wood, East Devon.
Anyone having asbestos removed from their property is required to employ the services of a fully accredited and equipped company, like Kershaw Contracting Services.
Penalties for the illegal dumping of asbestos are very severe.
Punishments stretch from £80 on-the-spot penalties to a £50,000 fine or, in the most serious cases, two years in jail.
The council has issued its standard warning to members of the public to leave the material alone.
Kershaw Contracting Services undertakes fully legal and licensed asbestos surveys and removals.
