Asbestos Disposal

Asbestos Sample

Asbestos is made up of microscopic mineral fibers that easily become airborne and inhaled during construction projects. Exposure to airborne asbestos is associated with lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis ("black lung") and other cancers.

Disposal of asbestos-containing building materials is strictly prohibited at all Lane County transfer stations.

Lane County Waste Management accepts asbestos-containing materials for disposal at Short Mountain Landfill ONLY. Loads must be property prepared and labeled before delivery to the landfill.
