The Importance of Proper Hazardous Waste Handling and Disposal
Hazardous waste materials can pose serious risks to your health, your property, and the environment - especially when left unmanaged during renovations, demolitions, or property turnover.
Whether you’re dealing with asbestos debris, lead-based products, chemical residues, or contaminated building materials, safe handling and disposal isn’t just recommended - it’s required by law.

Where Hazardous Waste Is Found
Hazardous waste can be found in many older buildings and is often hidden until renovations or cleanup begins. These materials can be dangerous to your health and the environment if they aren’t removed the right way.
You’ll often find hazardous waste in:
Homes built before 1990 - with asbestos, lead paint, or old pipe insulation
Rental units and older apartments - where past tenants may have left chemicals or unsafe materials.
Commercial and industrial buildings - with things like solvents, adhesives, or mercury in light fixtures
Abandoned or damaged properties - filled with leftover junk, construction waste, or biohazards.
Garages and basements - where old cleaners, paint, or fuel are often stored
If these materials are not handled properly, they can cause serious health problems and even lead to fines from the city.
That’s why it’s important to have them removed by trained professionals.
Whether you’re cleaning up a home, business, or worksite, Vancouver Asbestos Removal™ provides safe and legal hazardous waste removal across the Greater Vancouver Area.
We make sure your property is cleaned properly, and we handle every job with care and safety.
Our 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.
