The Hartland Landfill in Victoria is bringing in new rules for renovation waste to keep asbestos out of the site. Keeping asbestos out of the landfill and away from workers is the primary reason behind the changes, according to the Capital Regional District. Asbestos threatWatkins recommends that anyone planning to renovate a home built before 1990 should have a professional check for asbestos before starting a project. If your home is built before 1990, the CRD recommends having a professional check for asbestos before starting a DIY project. The Hartland Landfill will still accept materials containing asbestos, but only if properly packaged and with an appointment.
