Make arrangements for hauling asbestos-free materials

When it comes to hauling “non-asbestos” materials and products, many remodelers opt to self-haul. You can borrow a truck, or rent one on an hourly basis from hardware stores, rental agencies, or member-based programs like Flexcar.

Use extra caution if you hire a private company to haul materials. Some part-time operations are unfamiliar with recycling and reuse options, or worse, illegally dump materials you believe are being properly transported.

To avoid this, work only with permitted and licensed hauling companies. They should agree to take no more than half of their fee up front, with the remainder paid after you receive official receipts from the destinations you specified.

Beware the “great deal” that sounds too good to be true. It could be a sign that the hauling service is improperly disposing of materials.
