Is there any indication that this old peeling paint contains asbestos? (Sorry for the picture link but my lemmy server is not currently working with attachments). Thanks.

    I don’t believe you can visually identify asbestos in paint and or other materials. There may be indicators but to be sure you need it tested.

    In my neck of the US, I was required to take samples to a lab for testing prior to dumping during a remodel. Think it was about 135 for exterior paint and plater/drywall. Check your local regulations.
