Do all 9x9 tiles from a 50's house contain asbestos?

If they are can I remove them myself? How do I dispose of them?

If you are refering to floor or ceiling tile they probably do contain asbestor. Ceramic tile would not. Try not to break them or asbestos will be released into the air. To properly dispose of them you will need to hire a hazardous disposal company.

Why don't you purchase an asbestos test kit and see for yourself?
