Asbestos disposal is not as simple as throwing contaminated materials away. Federal asbestos rules generally require asbestos-containing waste to be kept wet, sealed in leak-tight containers, labeled, transported properly, and buried at a landfill authorized to receive asbestos waste. This video explains why wetting asbestos matters, how asbestos landfills are supposed to control visible emissions, and why improper disposal can still create serious public health risks. EPA NESHAP rules require asbestos waste to be handled in ways that reduce airborne fiber release.
