Asbestos around Geurie
Farms and older homes around Geurie often have asbestos-cement roofing, fibro cladding and old pipes. Storms and hail can crack old sheeting, which raises the risk of fibres being released. Keep people and pets away from damaged material and don't hose or sweep it.
Not at the village tip
The Geurie Transfer Station on Comobella Road is for local household waste, with limited hours (Sunday 10am to 3:50pm and Thursday 1pm to 3:50pm), and loads over 1 m³ aren't accepted at rural transfer stations. Asbestos needs to go to a facility that accepts it, such as Wellington (by appointment) or Whylandra near Dubbo. See the disposal guide.
Who can remove it
In NSW, SafeWork NSW says a licensed professional must remove any friable asbestos and any amount of bonded (non-friable) asbestos over 10 m², and it recommends a licensed professional for any amount.
