In summary, the waste levy general exemption for disposal of asbestos cannot be applied where the asbestos is being transported without an ERA57 and the volume is greater than 175kg.
Persons / businesses who transport asbestos loads over 175kg, have a requirement for licenced transport i.e. ERA57.
This volume is a fixed volume regardless of whether the transporter is a commercial transporter / asbestos remover, or a domestic resident removing and disposing of the asbestos themselves.
This means domestic loads of asbestos greater than 175kg will be charged at “Regulated waste – category 2” pricing.
