Abstract
A decade ago, Government embarked on a refurbishment programme of schools and hospitals which created asbestos as its by-product being stockpiled as unwanted and unusable waste. Most of these asbestos were left sitting on pallets at various sites awaiting disposal. At the time, an estimated 700 tonnes of asbestos waste lay ready to be disposed and recently more asbestos is added from the demolition of the old Island Foods factory.
