I don't know about Canada laws regarding AB and Pb. I do know the state and federal laws about the two here. As craig says, it's in the handling and disposal.

But, another point is that homeowners are allowed to do remediation work in a more casual manner than hired persons. Anyone doing this work professionally, or indeed, just as a paid entity, must follow some guidelines. Some are quite severe.

I'm not in the least suggesting be lackadaisical about this. Using "common sense" this is a very doable DIY project. No need to hire a specialist.

Now, for some of the quirky information that surrounds the issues of AB and lead disposal. According to our friends at the governmental level in environment regulation, items containing lead should be wrapped and sent to the land fill. Items containing AB should be wrapped, labeled and sent to a hazardous waste facility.

I see some inconsistency even if you don't.
