Asbestos Fact Sheets

ACCC Recall - Children's sand products containing Asbestos

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has recently warned of a recall of children’s sand products that may contain asbestos and were sold at various Australian retailers.

The sand is brightly coloured and designed for children to play with and for educational purposes and, as set out in the recall, is labelled as:

The products were recalled because they may contain tremolite asbestos, a naturally occurring asbestos, which was detected in some samples after laboratory testing. Asbestos is a prohibited substance in Australia.

The products were sold throughout Australia,

Horsham Rural City Council residents who may have purchased these products can safely dispose of them at the Dooen Landfill, by appointment only.

Asbestos products are to be wrapped in two layers of thick plastic sheeting or approved asbestos bags, securely taped and marked Asbestos. 

An asbestos form will need to be completed when disposing of any asbestos at Dooen Landfill,

HRCC will accept small quantities under 20 kilograms for free disposal. However, larger quantities will be subject to a fee for disposal.

Residents please note that it is illegal to dispose of asbestos products in Council’s red lid kerb side general waste bins.
