Asbestos New York State Asbestos Code 56
The New York state Division of Materials Management regulates the transportation and disposal of friable asbestos-containing waste and construction and demolition debris in New York State (NYS). There are two types of asbestos-containing waste - 1. friable 2. non-friable.
The Solid Waste Management Facility regulations define friable asbestos-containing waste as any waste containing greater than one percent asbestos that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry; and any asbestos-containing waste that is collected in a pollution control device designed to remove asbestos. This definition does not include friable asbestos-containing wastes that are discarded by a household.
Wastes that contain more than one percent asbestos but are not easily reduced to powder are not considered friable asbestos-containing waste but instead may be considered residential waste, construction and demolition debris, or some other waste type depending on the source. Examples of wastes that may contain asbestos include:
• Roofing shingles • Floor and ceiling tiles • Plaster and wallboard • Insulation from buildings, pipes and boilers
