Never burn any asbestos-containing waste material.

Non-asbestos-containing demolition debris and debris that contains only non-regulated roofing or flooring may be disposed of at a SCDES-approved disposal site for cellulosic or inert waste. Waste consolidation activities involving grinding, cutting, or compacting of non-friable asbestos-containing materials will subject these materials to more stringent State and Federal asbestos disposal regulations.

According to the EPA, asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber in rock and soil. Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance, asbestos has been used in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant.
