When bidding a job, its tough to determine if asbestos is present particularly if it is a latent condition. It is absolutely necessary to provide a disclaimer with your proposal that fully explains a changed condition if asbestos should be discovered, and the potential remedies and costs accompanying same. I believe that not only state regulations apply, but also federal mandates. Therefore, best to leave removal to professional contractors who should fully know how to comply with the law.>>>

Determine if it is friable or non-friable asbestos. Even if it is non-friable, respiration protection is a must. Most asbestos roof tiles are non-friable. Contact your local landfill and they will give you instructions on how the load should be handled.

Here in PA, the dump truck bed gets lined with plastic and the load is covered with plastic and tarped for the drive to the landfill. Special paperwork is submitted for the landfill to accept the load. They also have certain times of the day that an asbestos load can be dumped. They will be able to provide all the info and paperwork you need.>>>
