storage heaters - Asbestos problems

I am moving house and my new flat has these awfull storage heaters in them 1 works but the other 3 don't so i am replacing them . I have to have electric heating as no gas, so i am chucking them out.... BIG PROBLEM!!

It turns out they have asbestos inside them and i need a liscensed contractor to take them away, the big storage heater is going to cost me £680.00 to be taken away as i am on the 3rd floor, and its too heavy to go in the lift or go down the stairs.... this just isn't fair!!, can anyone offer me a solution that isn't so costly, i have thought of getting the bricks out myself, but i am worried about the health implications

We too have some old storage heaters that are on their last legs. Do you know if all storage heaters have asbestos in them, or is this particular to your property?

You're right to be worried about the health implications, it's nasty stuff by all accounts.
