Asbestos as "recovered fines" can also be sold in soil mixes. Why not give "structural soil" a go? It's just rocks, biochar, compost, and some minerals. No recovered wood pieces. (aussie.zone)

The soil fill, made from recycled residues from construction and demolition sites, is known as “recovered fines”.
