Asbestos is not such a big deal to dispose of. Always handle it wet so the dust does not become airborne. Soak it with a garden sprayer or spray bottle and water and dish soap. Seal it in a baggie and put in the land fill. If you have a truckload (like roofing tiles) the landfill here would take it but put it in a separate place. This might not be the law, but for small amounts, my advice is protect yourself and your household.
