Asbestos
You are not permitted to remove asbestos yourself; it is a toxic material. Carcinogenic fibres are released when it breaks or crumbles. You need permission from the local authority.
Reporting asbestos
Submit your notification at least 5 days in advance via the Environment Desk:
- Go to the ‘Requests’ section.
- Search for ‘Demolition’ under activities.
- Select the form ‘Demolition of a structure or part thereof or asbestos removal – Notification (Central Government)’.
Provide all requested information. We need this information as part of the permit application. Make sure that no privacy-sensitive data is included in the attachments. For example, your name, address or citizen service number.
Confirmation of receipt
You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this report, which you will hand in at the Milieustraat (recycling centre).
Reporting asbestos-containing material
Asbestos-like material looks very similar to asbestos, you cannot tell this difference. Do you have asbestos-like material and want to take it away to the Milieustraat? Let us know online (you will need DigiD). Also send proof that the material does not contain asbestos.
Are you unwilling or unable to apply online?
Download and complete the Acceptance form for asbestos-like material. Also send proof that the material does not contain asbestos. Send it to the City of Leeuwarden. You can also hand it in at the Town Hall or email it to vergunningen@leeuwarden.nl.
How to remove asbestos
You may only remove asbestos yourself in your own home, garden and shed if:
- It consists of screwed-down whole sheets, in which the asbestos fibres are trapped.
- The plate area is a maximum of 35 m2.
- It is a non -glued asbestos-containing floor covering.
- The items are asbestos-containing floor tiles.
- The items are not roof tiles.
In all cases other than those mentioned above, you must have asbestos removed by a certified asbestos removal company.
How to store asbestos
Deliver it within 2 weeks to the Milieustraat. How to package and deliver it safely is explained on the Omrinwebsite.
- Store it in a locked room so that others cannot come into contact with the asbestos.
- Keep it separate from all other waste.
Charges
- Reporting the presence of asbestos is free of charge.
- You will be charged a fee for the asbestos report if one is required.
