Council is aware of a recent product recall involving kinetic sand, due to potential asbestos contamination.

Please do not place these materials in your kerbside bins.
You must register your booking to dispose of the material at the Cosgrove Landfill Asbestos Disposal Point. Items must be double-wrapped in accordance with safe disposal guidelines.
