What to know before visiting Barnoldswick Tip

1Locating West Close Road

To reach the drop-off point, turn off the B6252 Skipton Road. Proceed along West Close Road and keep an eye out for the car park on the right-hand side, which serves as the main access route.

2Operating Schedule Restrictions

Be aware that the gates are only open from Thursday through to Monday. If you have a clear-out planned for a Tuesday or Wednesday, you will need to hold onto your bags a little longer.

3Pre-Authorisation for Trailers and Vans

Standard cars can roll up without notice, but larger transport methods require prior online authorisation. Remember that a single-axle trailer must display a matching number plate to your towing vehicle.

4Strict Ban on Asbestos

If you are dealing with hazardous construction materials, take note that this specific Tip does not accept any asbestos. You will need to find an alternative council facility for these dangerous goods.

5Corporate Waste Not Permitted

Only domestic throwaways are allowed here. If you generated the debris while operating a business or completing paid work on someone else's property, bringing it here is considered an illegal act.

6Packing Your Car Sensibly

You are entirely responsible for unloading your own boot. Pack your items thoughtfully into manageable bags, ensuring they are not too heavy for you to lift independently once you park.

7Site Security and Behaviour

To maintain a safe environment, CCTV and bodycams are in active use. Any illegal dumping left near the entrance or access lanes will be treated as a criminal offence and prosecuted accordingly.
