in England and Wales asbestos disposal is controlled by the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, this requires registering the site from where the waste is generated, carriage by licensed haulier and disposal at a licensed landfill facility. For domestic asbestos disposal, ie, asbestos guttering or cement garage, contact your local council.
In the US, asbestos disposal is regulated by EPA regulations and also by state regulations. It can only go to specific, approved landfills, and usually must be in double layers of sealed plastic with specified markings on it. Asbestos from owner-occupied single-family homes may sometimes be placed in the regular trash stream, but even that is not always the case. It is best to contact your local Health Department with questions, or talk to a commercial asbestos removal company that specializes in domestic removals. For industrial situations, always contact with a commercial removal firm unless you have state-approved training and licenses. If you have such training and licenses, you already know more than this answer offers.
