Householders’ Asbestos Disposal Scheme (HADS) in the Northern Rivers, NSW

North East Waste is working in collaboration with our seven Northern Rivers Councils to improve the safe identification and management of household asbestos by homeowners across the region.

Subsidised programs are in place to assist householders to:

i) Correctly identify asbestos material in their home, using a Household Asbestos Testing kit;


ii) Where bonded asbestos is identified (and in compliance with all health & safety guidelines for the safe removal of asbestos), safely remove up to 10m2 of of bonded asbestos using a Household Asbestos Disposal Kit.

The North East Waste (NE Waste) is a group of councils on the North Coast of New South Wales, working together towards cost-effective waste management solutions. The member councils include: Ballina Shire Council, Byron Shire Council, Clarence Valley Council, Richmond Valley Council and Tweed Shire Council.
