Knocking it down to make way for a new garage and extensions. Roughly about 65 square meter of sheeting. Rough price to remove and takeaway?
You can get approved Asbestos bags on Amazon, double bag the sheets and take them to the nearest council tip that will accept them for free. (One two miles from me as an example.)Just try not to break them up, wear HD gloves and get masked up, throw your clothes away after after bagging them up,
The sheets are fairly harmless, it's the dust that you must avoid at all costs.
If you don't fancy doing this yourself, there are plenty of specialist firms that will do it, but at a cost.

I’ve done a few but my local council collect foc if double bagged, I usually wrap large sheets in dpc.

I have some asbestos wetting agent going spare, if you need.
Can't help but think that spraying it down with very dilute PVA, dry out then rewet would work as an alternate, would certainly help bind any particles. I have a feeling some of the proper products from the MSDS info are going to be something very basic & organic just chosen for being water soluble & sticky - dilute yeast extract or molasses or something stupid like that, mixed with a simple surficant.
Before the Council closed to accepting asbestos, on their website it said you had to break it and stuff it into their (quite small) bags
As I had 8x2 sheets of the stuff I wasn't about to do that, so I called the depot, they agreed and told me to simply hose it down before bringing it - people get a bit paranoid about it
You've probably worked in the garage for years or walked past similar but now it's going to kill thousands when you transport it to the tip

My brother did his barn conversion (went to blue slate) DIY. Prob 300-400sq.m of corrugated concrete/asbestos roof.
All removed cleanly and put on trailer to take to tip.
Upon arrival the skip in which it went had an opening about half a meter wide, so he had to spend some time smashing all the sheets one by one to fit them in
So definitely double check what the waste site receptacle is like before loading up/taking!

Things may have changed, but when I took some asbestos to the dump about 12 years ago, they would only take (IIRC) 200kg per year for your own property. It had to be double-wrapped and taken in a trailer (not the car). I had to pay about £80 for dumping it, but they refunded it within 10 days.

Your brother smashed up around 100 sheets (five tons) of asbestos cement sheets at the local tip?! All removed cleanly and put on trailer to take to tip.

OP check with your local tip first, they often have a weight or bag limit across time on accepting asbestos cement. Eg 20KG per month. And they do charge for it sometimes these days. And read the HSE Essentials notes someone linked to on here too.
About 25 years ago i knocked my asbestos clad garage down, took all the sheets off and the roof stacked them on the garden. Then every week I laid one on the ground and smashed it up with a hammer, 2 bags went to the tip ( max 2 a week ) one went in my wheelie bin ( when your bin got emptied every week ) and one went in my mums bin. I did contemplate putting a bit in a carrier bag every night and putting some in the street bins when i took the dog out but i thought that going a bit far………
The other option was to chuck it in the foundations for the new garage after the building inspector had been …..
