[QUOTE="Topper, post: 512806, member: 186250"] My experience is similar to Llews and my local tip would only take the panels if they were sealed inside giant polythylene bags and left in a special area but that was 20 years ago so the regulations may be different now. It is more than likely that there is asbestos built in as it was the fibre that gave the panels their strength. In the 70's there were allsorts of asbestos material available. I remember a rawlplug product which was asbestos fibre and powdered PVA which you mixed with water then inserted into a hole drilled in the wall, you then screwed in your wood screw which would never ever come out again. So care needs to be taken mask safety glasses etc. [/QUOTE]
