I replaced my soil pipe last week, the old one was made from cement asbestos, went to the tip and they gave me some red coloured bags to put it in,
just smashed it up with a hammer and bagged it. At the tip they just threw the bags into a container.

I agree Retlaw, it was blue asbestos which I used mostly, don't know how asbestolux rated but there used to be loads of dust flew in the air when you were cutting it
