Insulation disposal — batts, loose-fill and off-cuts
InsulationGlenfield Waste Services takes asbestos-free insulation at Glenfield — batts, loose-fill and off-cuts — weighed over the weighbridge and charged by the tonne with a minimum.
For builders and homeowners stripping out a ceiling or a wall cavity during a renovation.
What we take
Accepted- Glasswool and rockwool batts, whole or broken
- Loose-fill insulation, bagged
- Off-cuts and trimmings from a new install
Insulation from an older building is not automatically ordinary insulation. If there is any chance the material contains asbestos, it is not an ordinary load and must not be tipped as one. Ring the gatehouse before you load if you are unsure what you have.
What it costs
Weighbridge- Rate
- $1,200 / tonne
- Minimum
- $1,200 min
Weighed over the weighbridge and charged by the tonne, against a minimum for small loads.
Rates include GST.
Bringing it in
On the dayBag it. Loose batts shed fibres across the yard and across your trailer, and a bagged load is faster over the weighbridge. Keep the load covered on the drive in.
Mon–Fri 6:30am – 4:00pm · Closed weekends & public holidays. The last load of the day must be tipped and off the weighbridge by 4:00pm. Arrive with enough time to weigh in, tip and weigh out before then — the gate cannot take a load that would still be on the bridge at close.
Within opening hours — Mon–Fri, closed public holidays.
