Asbestos Waste Management for Construction and Development Projects
Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ specializes in managing waste materials that cannot be easily recycled, with an emphasis on asbestos-containing materials.
We possess the knowledge and resources required to provide safe and efficient waste management solutions that ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
There is always a need for industrial, commercial, and residential development services across Vancouver.
However, construction projects generate significant amounts of waste materials that are difficult to recycle. Asbestos-containing materials, in particular, require specialized handling and disposal methods to minimize the risk of airborne exposure to harmful fibers.
Without effective means to remove waste materials, you can face a work stop order.

Whether it’s a single -family home, rental unit, apartment complex, or older commercial space - our certified team ensures every removal is done safely, thoroughly, and in full compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations.
We provide licensed lead abatement services for both residential and commercial buildings throughout Greater Vancouver.

Construction & Demolition Recycling in Greater Vancouver
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we offer responsible and compliant construction and demolition (C&D) recycling services for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across the Greater Vancouver Area.
Whether you're tearing down an old structure or upgrading an existing space, our team ensures that recyclable materials are properly sorted, processed, and diverted from landfills - saving you time, money, and environmental impact.
Construction and demolition projects generate massive volumes of waste -everything from wood, concrete, drywall, and metals to hazardous materials like asbestos or lead.
Not all of this can be recycled, but much of it can and should be. Our team helps you identify which materials are recyclable and ensures they are handled, separated, and transported to the appropriate recycling facilities.
We Recycle All Types of Construction Materials
At Vancouver Asbestos Removal™, we help contractors, developers, and property owners reduce their environmental footprint through certified construction and demolition recycling services.
Our team ensures that all recyclable materials are properly sorted, separated, and directed to approved recycling facilities across the Greater Vancouver Area.
We manage everything from standard debris removal to the safe handling of hazardous waste, always in full compliance with WorkSafeBC, municipal, and environmental regulations.
Whether you’re working on a small renovation or a large-scale demolition, we’re committed to helping you divert waste responsibly, meet regulatory requirements, and keep your site clean and compliant - every step of the way.
The most commonly recycled construction and demolition materials include:
Clean wood and lumber - such as framing offcuts, plywood, and subfloor
Particleboard and composite panels - found in cabinets, shelving, and trim.
Asphalt shingles - removed from residential and low-slope commercial roofs.
Green waste - like branches, shrubs, and landscaping debris
Concrete and concrete with rebar - from foundations, walkways, and driveways.
Drywall - including scrap gypsum board from renovations.
Scrap metal and steel - from framing, wiring, plumbing, and fixtures.
While these materials are often seen as waste, many of them can be broken down, repurposed, or processed into new products.
Recycling helps reduce landfill pressure, lower disposal costs, and support cleaner construction practices.
If your project includes recyclable debris, our team can help sort, remove, and transport the materials to approved facilities.
Whether you’re managing a demolition site or cleaning up after a remodel, Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ offers reliable, eco-conscious recycling services that keep your job site clean and compliant from start to finish.

Our Asbestos Abatement Process
1. Inspection & Lab Testing
We start with a professional site assessment and collect material samples. These are sent to a certified lab to confirm the presence and type of asbestos.
2. Containment & Preparation
We seal off affected areas using industry-standard containment systems and negative air pressure to protect surrounding spaces during removal.
3. Safe Removal & Disposal
Our licensed technicians remove asbestos safely, following WorkSafeBC protocols. Waste is double-bagged and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.
4. Final Clearance & Report
A final inspection ensures the site is safe. We can arrange third-party air clearance testing and provide full documentation for your records or compliance.
Types of Asbestos-Containing Materials We Remove
Drywall and Joint Compound
In homes built before 1990, drywall and joint compound may contain asbestos. If walls are cut, sanded, or removed during renovations, asbestos fibers can be released into your home’s air. Our team is trained to safely handle and remove asbestos-containing drywall to keep your family safe.
Pipe Lagging and Pipe Insulation
Asbestos was commonly used to insulate pipes in older homes. The material, called pipe lagging, helps prevent heat loss but can release asbestos fibers if disturbed. We provide safe asbestos removal for pipe insulation to prevent exposure during plumbing repairs or renovations.
Black Mastic and Adhesives (Tile Mastic)
Black mastic is a glue often used to attach vinyl tiles and other flooring materials. Many older types of black mastic contain asbestos. Removing flooring without proper care can release harmful fibers. We use professional techniques to safely remove black mastic during asbestos removal projects in Vancouver.
Ceiling Tiles
Many ceiling tiles installed before the 1990s contain asbestos. If these tiles are cracked, damaged, or removed, asbestos dust can spread through your home. Our asbestos removal experts will assess and safely remove ceiling tiles to protect your indoor air quality.
Roofing and Siding (Including Asbestos Siding)
Asbestos was once added to roofing and siding products for durability. Today, old asbestos-containing roofing and siding materials can break down over time, releasing fibers. Our team safely removes and disposes of asbestos roofing and siding as part of our comprehensive asbestos removal services.
Other Materials We Remove
We also remove asbestos from other less common materials sometimes found in older Vancouver homes. These can include fiberboard, vermiculite insulation, boiler parging, asbestos duct tape, textured coatings, and more. If you are unsure about any material in your home, our asbestos removal experts can safely assess and handle it.
