Also you can't take it to most council tips now. It requires hazardous waste collection and handling services as of 2012.

Genuinely dangerous stuff. My uncle died from mesothelioma as well about a decade after an asbestos garage roof collapsed next to him in the 1980s.

Don't even think about winging it.
I've taken asbestos to the tip, bagged up whilst wearing disposable overalls. I needed an asbestos waste permit, which house holds here can apply for one, one per year. Mine was the last garage roof.
