Strict wrapping rules and a 175 kg load limit
- Seal and double-wrap asbestos in heavy-duty plastic at least 0.2 mm thick.

Broken fibro during cyclone and monsoon season
During Townsville's cyclone and monsoon season, storm and flood damage can leave broken asbestos to deal with. Keep it wet. Do not water-blast asbestos cement roofs.
Double-bag and label loose pieces. Never put asbestos in bins or kerbside collection. Anything over 10 square metres needs a licensed removalist.
