Q1: Can the non-asbestos material on top of the ACM be disposed of as regular waste?

A1: The carpet can be disposed of as regular waste. The tile did not test positive for asbestos however if the mastic is adhered to the tile it will have to be disposed of as asbestos. It is unclear if it will be so the bidder should conservatively assume that they will have to dispose of the tile as asbestos.
