House Clearance Aberdeenshire Questions Skip Operators & Asbestos

Although asbestos is covered by the Special Waste Regulations, and should normally be disposed of by specialist operators, it still ends up in skips. So exactly where does the skip operator stand, when a skip hired out to a householder for building waste contains asbestos? Should you ask the customer to remove it, accept it yourself, or call in a specialist contractor? Also if you do move it, would that make you liable for prosecution? We asked the Environment Agency for their help on this issue.
