It will cost a lot more for a tradesman to dispose of it as they will have to pay for correct disposal, and have a controlled waste transfer note for it as required by the EA. (More expense....)
You as a householder would likely get free (or cheap) tip at Civic Amenity site that accepts asbestos. Best advice is to ring your local authority and ask about asbestos disposal arrangements and cost (if any).
As I said before, dont break it if at all avoidable, any damage will release the fibres. There may be requirements for it to be wrapped in polythene before it will be accepted for disposal, but council will advise you what they accept.

Northamptonshire provides a subsidised service for the disposal of small quantities of bonded asbestos arising from domestic premises by the householder. After filling in the form to declare the origin and quantity, you are expected to take it to the facility provided, in accordance with their instructions, and upon payment it will be accepted for disposal.
Fife council allows householders to dispose of asbestos at some of thei depots. I know this because I just had to hire a van to drop off the asbestos flue from my Ma and Dads old warm air unit to the dump at Ladybank. The only stipulation from them is that any asbestos waste should be wrapped up.

Will second what hugh says and some in northants also dont charge a penny . By asbestos we are talking asbestos cement products , flues ,guttering ,water tanks , roof sheeting etc.
Heard of one poor guy in council house who cut bottom of boiler cupboard door lined with asbestos sheet.
A year later council guy notices it .
Flat gets condemned and all his furnishings etc got removed and disposed off with no compensation as he was not insured,
