Looks like it’s not just Sydney that has a problem with lazy disposal of building rubble. Only buy from reputable suppliers peeps.
Am I missing something, here? Is this all about a single piece of asbestos found by a dude in one playground? That isn’t enough to rustle my jimmy’s, yet. That could be anything - It could even have been introduced by a member of the public similar to the strawberry thing.
This is a bit different to several asbestos pieces across dozens of sites in Sydney.
It raised concerns over free mulch being advertised on popular online marketplaces and said it was recently contacted by a Heathmont resident who received free mulch last year that included building rubble, including asbestos.
Above quote shows that there’s a problem here too with contaminated mulch. And taking into account the traditional rivalry between Melb and Syd, it appears that we have a problem too. Just not as big a problem - yet.
That one sounds like a dodgy builder was just scraping mulch and whatever into the truck before dumping it on someone. That case is legitimately bad.
I have gone to a random yard to pick up free mulch, though. It’s a bit different when you go yourself. You’re hardly going to load it if it looks contaminated with rubble.
whole council should be dismissed.
There’s a lot of asbestos out there. They can’t really be expected to test literally everything for asbestos imho.
This is probably yet another case caused by the dodgy building industry
When I bought my house, I asked about asbestos, and the building inspector missed a lot of it, and the real estate agent claimed there was none. There was lots
but timber with nails in it? C’mon, thats not even giving the bare minimum of effort.
