    Thanks for that
    My council recycling centre accepts asbestos.
    The only issue i have would be to take it down from the roof as its seems to be secured and the bolts have all rusted,
    Any ideas there?
    Would i be safe to break them wearing a mask?
    A respirator...

    See the HSE website. http://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Some councils accept asbestos waste but not a lot of it and may charge. once you have bought the correct equipment to safely remove the asbestos it may be better off getting the experts to remove it. If the sides are concrete get a company to remove the asbestos roof and do the rest your self to be safe. There are guidance documents around on the HSE web site and also a short video on www asbestos-roof-removal co uk which gives you a few pointers. They also may be able to give you a good price.
