Karratha Asbestos Removal | Licensed Pilbara Specialists – ANZ Enviro
Perth crews on FIFO rotation to Karratha • Class A/B licences • Zero‑dust hand‑over.
Why Asbestos Is Still a Problem in Karratha
Karratha’s 1970s “company towns” – Bulgarra, Pegs Creek and Dampier – were built fast with asbestos cement cladding and roofing. When cyclones like Christine (2013) strip sheets, fibres spread quickly across backyards.
- Red Pilbara dust + high winds push fibres further than urban Perth.
- Only one licensed facility – 7 Mile Waste Facility on Stovehill Road.
- Illegal dumping fines reach $125,000 for companies.

Five Reasons Pilbara Sites Call ANZ Enviro

- Industrial inductions – certified for Pluto LNG, NW Shelf, Dampier Salt, Yara.
- Full tracking – every load logged in CWTS, receipt emailed from 7 Mile gatehouse.
- Paperwork kept simple – one point of contact, plain‑English updates.
