A flexible cover (13) is formed as an extension of the outer layer (11 ) to open/close the opening (12) forming an air-tight seal. A removable flexible particle/fibre impervious inner bag-like layer (17), manufactured from either a low density polyethylene or a continuous polymer sheet geomembrane such as reinforced polyethylene, lines the inner walls and base of the outer layer (11 ) and a portion (18) extends out of the open end (12). The inner bag-like layer (17) can include a Quick Response Code (23). The closed container (10) is collapsed to a substantially flat state and transported to the site where hazardous material is to be removed. The cover (13) is opened and the inner layer (17) is extended out of the open 10 end (12) and overlaid onto the exterior surface of the outer layer (11 ). The hazardous material is then placed into the inner bag-like layer (17). The inner layer overlaying the outer layer (11 ) is returned to the interior of the assembly (10) and closed. The cover (13) is closed. The assembly (10) is transported to a waste disposal site where either the entire assembly (10) or the inner bag-like layer (17) with its contents can be disposed of.1/4 A 161 6 12 11 13 FIG. 1
