Summerhill is in Wallsend, but it only takes asbestos on booked weekday mornings
The City of Newcastle's Summerhill Waste Management Centre sits at 120 Summerhill Road (off Minmi Road), Wallsend. It accepts asbestos Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 12 noon, on a booked day only, never on weekends or public holidays (City of Newcastle).
Living close to the tip doesn't make the job quicker if the load isn't wrapped, labelled and booked. That's where we come in.

Asbestos in Wallsend's older homes
Wallsend began as a 19th-century mining town. The City of Newcastle groups it with the suburbs developed before 1910, with later suburban growth spreading out from the old centre (Wallsend heritage walk).
In the old core you'll find workers' cottages on small lots, alongside a broader mix of later housing. Homes and sheds built or extended before 1990 can contain fibro in fences, eaves, wet areas, sheds and outbuildings, so it pays to check before you renovate.
Heritage places and renovation
Wallsend has heritage-listed places, including the Wallsend Railway Goods Shed at 76 Cowper Street (City of Newcastle). If your home is heritage listed or in a heritage area, check with the City of Newcastle before major work.
Removing more than 10m² of bonded asbestos, or any friable asbestos, needs a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist, who must notify SafeWork NSW at least 5 calendar days before the work starts (SafeWork NSW).
