Waste collection services

Specialist assessment (asbestos, chemicals, other hazards).

If you suspect asbestos, chemicals or another hazardous material, use the specialist assessment route. Give the information already available and wait for review before arranging handling or collection.

Submit details for review. Online specialist bids and bookings are not currently available; submitting details does not confirm a collection.

What to include in your listing

Prepare your assessment details

  1. Describe the location and condition without disturbing the material.
  2. Include existing labels or reports if available; do not take samples.
  3. State quantities only where they can be observed safely.

Agree the scope before booking

A listing is a request for assessment, not permission to handle hazardous waste or a confirmed disposal booking. Keep people away from damaged suspect materials and follow appropriate specialist advice. Immediate danger should be handled through the relevant emergency service.

Assessment comes before pricing

The material, condition and handling requirements need to be assessed before anyone can establish an appropriate disposal route or price. A photograph alone cannot confirm what a material contains.

What happens after you submit details?

Your submission goes to the review queue, not the open bidding board. Check your dashboard for the review decision and any next steps. YWG does not currently offer online bidding or booking for specialist waste, so submitting details does not reserve a collector or authorise handling.
