Asbestos testing and removal in Commerce City
Commerce City follows Colorado's state asbestos rules. Here is what's specific to Commerce City, then the state rules every project has to meet.
What's specific to Commerce City
- Tower Landfill, 8480 Tower Rd in Commerce City, was on CDPHE's 2019 list of landfills accepting friable and non-friable asbestos from the public. Its current status is not yet confirmed — call before you haul.
- We found no extra Commerce City asbestos paperwork beyond the state rules (not yet confirmed).
The state rules that still apply
- Test first if you'll disturb more than 32 square feet of other surfaces, 50 linear feet of pipe or one 55-gallon drum in a house — and before any demolition.
- Crumbly asbestos above those amounts is removed by a state-certified abatement contractor under a state permit ($180–$420 for a house), after a 10-working-day notice.
- Demolition always needs a state demolition notice ($50 plus $5 for every 1,000 square feet demolished).
