Free asbestos collection trial tackles illegal dumping
The NSW state government has launched a $9 million two-year trial program offering free asbestos waste collection and disposal for households. One in three homes built before 1990 contains asbestos, and the initiative aims to reduce illegal dumping. More than 4,000 Australians die each year from historical asbestos exposure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
