Asbestos Removal

Professional & Safe Asbestos Removal in Cairns


At Cairns Express Skips, we offer a specialised service for asbestos removal in Cairns, because as we all know, asbestos is a hazardous material and must be removed and disposed of with great care.
This is why you can’t place any asbestos material in our regular skips, instead you need to ask for our asbestos skip bins in Cairns, as the disposal of this material is closely monitored and regulated.

Asbestos Removal in Cairns

We offer an asbestos removal service to our customers, where we provide you with special skips on your property and then we dispose of the asbestos (sometimes called fibro) safely. Asbestos is commonly found in older homes, particularly those build before the 1970’s, and since it wasn’t banned until 2003, there are still many homes that contain asbestos on the market.

 Asbestos Skip Bins in Cairns

Skip bins for the removal of asbestos have a limit of 150kg/m3 and they can only contain asbestos materials; you cannot place any other waste, rubbish or hazardous materials in these bins. All of our asbestos skip bins in Cairns are lined with heavy double PVC plastic, which must be large enough to completely contain and cover the asbestos. This plastic must also be large enough to enable an airtight seal to be established, ensuring the safe removal of this material.
