Hello!
I found approximately 8 tiles in various sizes of asbestos in my garage attic.
Some of them have cracked. How should I handle these? They are loose and lying in a pile.
What I've googled and found regarding asbestos is that you should use disposable clothing with respiratory protection, but I suspect that applies to demolition?
Can I wear regular clothes, gloves, and a 3M respirator and pack them and leave them at the nearest recycling center?
Grateful for an answer.

Buy a disposable coverall, costs a few tens and gloves so you can put everything in the same bag as the discs. You can shower the discs with a regular plant spray so it dusts less.
Regular work clothes are enough, you hardly need a respirator when you're carrying down boards from the attic.
You can place the boards either loosely or in a garbage bag on a trailer, then drive them to the recycling station that accepts eternit/asbestos.

Thank you for the response! Should I throw away the clothes after use if I use work clothes? What is it that is really dangerous? Is it only if the discs break just during handling?

What you need to do is so minimal that it hardly falls under the term asbestos remediation. Wet down the eternit panels so they don't cause unnecessary dust, place them in a plastic bag. Wipe off any remaining dust with an old damp towel, which should also go into the trash bag. Take the bag to the recycling station. If you have a P3 respiratory mask, use it if it makes you feel better; you can wear work clothes and gloves as usual afterward.
