      My neighbor has asbestos siding and is having an major work done (removing a porch). Their dumpster is 5 feet away from my bedroom window, and the contractor is throwing everything, including the asbestos siding, into the dumpster. Is this a health hazard, or does the fact that the siding is very hard make the asbestos not dangerous? Also, I don’t know if the current owners or their contractor are aware that the siding is asbestos (a now-deceased neighbor told me this).

      I would call the local building inspector and ask him to look into the situation. Although in my opinion, the amount of asbestos is minimal, I would play it safe. Close the bedroom window tight until you get this resolved. Have you discussed this with your neighbor? That would be a good first step. Perhaps the siding is non-asbestos after all.

      Good Luck,
