You want to make sure you treat it properly as when it is solid it is non-friable and when crumbling it is friable.  That is when the spores get into the air and people breath it in.  Call in the experts!!!  Al

I would highly suggest that a reputable Asbestos Abatement company be
involved to identify the material. The crumbling material, if asbestos
is the owner's responsibility in its' present state, the abatement
process and also the proper disposal of the material.

A person recently inquired as to the proper procedure in disposing of
several old fire-safes that have what appears to be asbestos in them
that is
crumbling.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
