Licensed asbestos disposal across Salisbury and SP postcodes
The Waste Group provides licensed asbestos disposal throughout Salisbury and the surrounding SP postcode area, covering Harnham, Bemerton Heath, Bishopdown, Old Sarum, Laverstock, Fisherton, Milford, St Paul’s and St Francis, as well as the wider south Wiltshire catchment including Wilton, Amesbury, Downton, Tisbury, Durrington and Tidworth. Salisbury’s older housing stock — particularly the 1950s and 1970s council housing expansion across Bemerton Heath and Harnham, and the market-town terraces with later garage additions — commonly contains asbestos cement in garage roofs, shed panels, soffits, pipe lagging and older boilers. Once that material has been safely removed, it needs to be disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste facility, with full Duty of Care paperwork.
Important — removal versus disposal: The Waste Group is a licensed asbestos disposal service, not a removal contractor. If asbestos is still in place on your property, you first need an HSE-licensed removal specialist to take it down safely. Once it has been double-wrapped and is ready for collection, we handle the disposal — whether that is a full asbestos skip, a RoRo for larger commercial jobs, or a van collection for homeowners with smaller quantities.
Three ways we handle asbestos disposal in Salisbury:
- Asbestos skip hire — 6, 12 or 16 yard sealed skips, from £1,806 ex-VAT
- Asbestos RoRo hire — 20, 35 or 40 yard roll-on-roll-off for larger jobs, from £2,208 ex-VAT
- Asbestos van collection — per-item pricing for homeowners with smaller loads, transport from £294 ex-VAT
For small jobs that don’t justify a skip — a few Artex sheets, a bagged single-room strip-out, a small garage roof — our asbestos van collection service from £340 inc VAT may be a more cost-effective option.
All prices shown exclude VAT. Call 01722 442445 for a same-day Salisbury quote, or request one online.
Asbestos skip hire Salisbury — three sizes
Asbestos skip hire is the most cost-effective option for medium to large asbestos disposal jobs in Salisbury — typical examples include a full garage roof strip, a shed demolition, or commercial refurbishment work where a licensed contractor has already removed the asbestos and needs a compliant disposal route.
All our asbestos skips are sealed, covered and delivered by a fully licensed hazardous waste carrier. Each booking includes collection, transfer and disposal at a licensed hazardous waste facility, with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note issued as standard. Sizes and pricing for Salisbury (Zone 5) are set out below.
Asbestos skip hire prices — Salisbury
| Skip size | Best for | Price ex-VAT | Price inc-VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 yard asbestos skip | Single garage roof, small shed demolition | £1,806.00 | £2,167.20 |
| 12 yard asbestos skip | Double garage, large shed, small commercial strip | £1,806.00 | £2,167.20 |
| 16 yard enclosed asbestos skip | Larger domestic or light commercial jobs needing a fully enclosed skip | £1,806.00 | £2,167.20 |
All asbestos skip prices include 2 tonnes of waste. Excess tonnage charged at £342 per tonne ex-VAT. £42 admin charge applies. Prices effective from April 2026 and subject to change.
What is included in every asbestos skip booking
- Delivery of a sealed, covered asbestos skip to your Salisbury address
- Up to 14 days on-site hire (longer available on request)
- Collection and transfer to a licensed hazardous waste facility
- Compliant disposal under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
- Hazardous Waste Consignment Note issued within 5 working days
Before booking an asbestos skip in Salisbury
All asbestos waste must be double-wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene or double asbestos bags before it goes into the skip. Standard cement sheets should be 6ft × 3ft or smaller and no heavier than 25kg each. Loose debris and smaller pieces should be double-bagged, with each bag under 15kg. If the asbestos is still in place on your property, you will first need a licensed removal contractor — The Waste Group is a disposal service, not a removal service.
A note on Salisbury city centre deliveries: if your site is within the Cathedral Close conservation area or on a narrow terraced street in the city centre, access may be restricted. Call 01722 442445 before booking and we will confirm the delivery route and any permit requirements.

Asbestos van collection Salisbury — for smaller quantities
Not every asbestos job needs a skip. For homeowners in Salisbury with a small quantity of asbestos — a single garage roof, an old boiler, a few bags of pipe lagging, or some ceiling tiles — our asbestos van collection service is usually the most cost-effective option. You pay a fixed Salisbury transport charge plus a per-item rate for what we collect, with no wasted skip capacity.
Van collection is ideal when your asbestos waste has already been safely removed, double-wrapped, and is ready for pick-up. Each collection includes a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note and compliant disposal at a licensed hazardous waste facility.
How asbestos van collection works in Salisbury
- Request a quote — call 01722 442445 or use the form, telling us roughly what you have (number of sheets, bags, or items)
- Wrap everything for collection — double-wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene or double asbestos bags, ready before the driver arrives (see wrapping requirements below)
- Book a collection slot — we typically collect within 3 to 5 working days across Salisbury and the SP postcode area
- Hand over the waste — our driver loads it, issues the Consignment Note and removes it to a licensed hazardous waste facility
Asbestos van collection prices — Salisbury (Zone 5)
| Item | Typical weight | Price ex-VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Salisbury transport charge | Per collection | £294.00 |
| Per bag | 10 – 15 kg | £9.20 |
| Per sheet or wrap | 20 – 25 kg (6ft × 3ft standard) | £18.60 |
| Per door or boiler | Up to 30 kg | £38.40 |
| Consignment note / admin | Per collection | £42.00 |
Prices effective from April 2026. All prices exclude VAT. Items exceeding the standard weights may be subject to additional charges. Maximum van capacity is 1 tonne — very large loads may require an additional collection or a skip booking instead.
Three worked examples for Salisbury van collections
To help you gauge the likely total cost, here are three typical Salisbury jobs with itemised pricing. Your actual quote will depend on exactly what we collect.
Example A — Small garage roof removal aftermath
- 6 wrapped sheets (cement roofing) × £18.60 = £111.60
- 4 bags of broken pieces × £9.20 = £36.80
- Transport £294.00 + admin £42.00 = £336.00
- Total ex-VAT: £484.40 (inc-VAT £581.28)
Example B — Old boiler plus pipe lagging
- 1 asbestos-insulated boiler × £38.40 = £38.40
- 8 bags of pipe lagging × £9.20 = £73.60
- Transport £294.00 + admin £42.00 = £336.00
- Total ex-VAT: £448.00 (inc-VAT £537.60)
Example C — Full shed roof and cladding
- 12 wrapped sheets × £18.60 = £223.20
- Transport £294.00 + admin £42.00 = £336.00
- Total ex-VAT: £559.20 (inc-VAT £671.04)
How to wrap asbestos for Salisbury van collection
All asbestos waste must be correctly packaged before our driver arrives. If the waste is not ready, the collection may need to be rescheduled and additional charges may apply. Follow these standards:
- Sheets — wrap in 1000-gauge polythene, taped and sealed. Maximum standard size 6ft × 3ft and 25kg per sheet
- Loose debris and broken pieces — double-bagged in UN-approved asbestos bags, each bag under 15kg
- Boilers, doors, and rigid items — fully wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene, taped and sealed, under 30kg
- Pipe lagging — bagged in double asbestos bags, sealed, under 15kg per bag
- Labelling — each bag and wrap should carry the UN asbestos symbol where possible

How to prepare asbestos for collection in Salisbury
Whether you are booking a skip, a RoRo or a van collection, the asbestos must be correctly packaged before our driver arrives on site. Proper preparation avoids additional charges and keeps everyone on site safe.
- Confirm removal has been completed by a licensed contractor. The Waste Group collects and disposes of asbestos — we do not remove it from buildings. Higher-risk removal work must be carried out by an HSE-licensed asbestos contractor.
- Wrap every item in 1000-gauge polythene or double asbestos bags. Sheets up to 6ft × 3ft and 25kg. Bags under 15kg. Rigid items (boilers, doors) under 30kg and fully wrapped.
- Seal all wrapping with strong tape. No loose edges, no tears, no exposed fibres.
- Label where possible. The UN asbestos symbol on each wrap helps the driver identify the load on arrival.
- Stage the waste for easy access. Keep it dry, in a sheltered spot near the kerb or driveway, so the driver can load it quickly and safely.
- Keep paperwork ready. If you had a removal contractor, have their waste transfer note or job reference to hand — it speeds up the Consignment Note process.
If you are unsure whether your waste is ready for collection, send us a photo when you request your quote and we will confirm before booking.
Why Salisbury’s nearest asbestos HWRC is not in Salisbury
If you have searched for “where can I dispose of asbestos in Salisbury,” you may have been surprised to find that Salisbury’s own Household Recycling Centre at Churchfields Industrial Estate (SP2 7BU) does not accept asbestos of any kind. Wiltshire Council only accepts cement-bonded asbestos at three of its HRCs — and none of them are in Salisbury itself.
Where Wiltshire Council does accept asbestos
| HRC site | Address | Approx. distance from Salisbury |
|---|---|---|
| Amesbury HRC | Mills Way, Boscombe Down Business Park, Amesbury SP4 7RX | ~8 miles north |
| Warminster HRC | Northlands Industrial Estate, Warminster | ~25 miles north-west |
| Purton HRC | Stephenson Road, Purton (near Swindon) | ~35 miles north |
Every council drop-off is by appointment only, domestic only, cement-bonded only, and capped at 12 sheets (maximum 1.5m × 2.5m each). You must transport the waste yourself and have proof of Wiltshire residency. No Consignment Note is issued. If you live in Salisbury, the nearest council option (Amesbury) is an 8-mile round trip with a pre-wrapped hazardous load in the back of your car — assuming your car is suitable and the appointment slot fits your schedule.
Salisbury HWRC versus The Waste Group — side by side
| Condition | Wiltshire Council HRCs | The Waste Group |
|---|---|---|
| Accepted in Salisbury itself? | No — Salisbury HRC does not accept asbestos | Yes — collection to any Salisbury address |
| Type of waste accepted | Cement-bonded asbestos only | All non-licensed asbestos waste types |
| Domestic or commercial? | Domestic only — from your own property | Domestic and commercial |
| Maximum load | 12 sheets maximum (1.5m × 2.5m each) | No limit — skip, RoRo or van |
| Removed by a contractor? | Not accepted — homeowner-removed only | Yes — contractor-removed accepted |
| Booking required? | Yes — appointment, proof of Wiltshire residency | Yes — usually collected within 3 to 5 working days |
| Who transports the waste? | You — in your own vehicle to Amesbury, Warminster or Purton | We do — collection from your Salisbury property |
| Cost | Free (HRC drop-off) plus your fuel and time | From £294 transport + per-item (van) |
| Consignment Note issued? | No | Yes — every job |
HRC conditions based on Wiltshire Council guidance as at April 2026. Always check wiltshire.gov.uk for current availability, appointment rules and charges before travelling.
When the Wiltshire HRC route is the right choice
Take the council route only if all of the following apply:
- The asbestos is cement-bonded only (no pipe lagging, ceiling tiles, or friable material)
- It came from your own home — not a rental property, not a business, not a builder’s van
- You have 12 sheets or fewer, all intact
- You have a car or van capable of safely transporting wrapped asbestos to Amesbury, Warminster or Purton
- You do not need formal paperwork for insurance, a house sale, or a compliance audit
- You can book an appointment that fits your schedule at a site outside Salisbury
If any of those conditions do not fit, a van collection, skip or RoRo through The Waste Group is usually the simpler option — and the only option that brings Salisbury asbestos disposal back into Salisbury itself.
Our licences and compliance
- Registered waste carrier — The Waste Group is a registered upper-tier waste carrier with the Environment Agency
- Licensed hazardous waste disposal — all asbestos is transferred to a permitted hazardous waste facility for compliant disposal
- Hazardous Waste Consignment Note — issued for every asbestos job, providing your Duty of Care paperwork
- Full chain-of-custody tracking — every load is tracked from collection to disposal site
- Partnership with Windsor Waste Management — a specialist asbestos operator with nationwide hazardous waste facility access
Your Duty of Care as a Salisbury property owner
If you own, manage, or are responsible for a property in Salisbury where asbestos is being removed, you have a legal Duty of Care under Section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. That means you are legally responsible for ensuring the asbestos is handled and disposed of properly — even after a contractor has taken it off your hands.
To meet your Duty of Care, you must:
- Only pass asbestos waste to a registered waste carrier (check their waste carrier number)
- Receive and retain a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note for every collection
- Keep the paperwork for at least 3 years
- Be able to show where the asbestos ended up if asked by the Environment Agency or local authority
Every booking with The Waste Group in Salisbury includes this paperwork as standard. You do not have to chase it, file it separately, or ask for it — the Consignment Note is issued within 5 working days of disposal and kept on record.
