What to know before visiting Boston Tip
1Finding the Slippery Gowt Lane Site
Tucked away in the Riverside Industrial Estate, the recycling centre is highly accessible but can be busy during weekends. If you are driving near the Pilgrim Hospital, just follow the main roads down towards the industrial park to find the entrance.
2Lincolnshire Residents Only
You must prove that you live within the county borders before unloading. The gate staff will ask to see a valid driver's licence or a recent utility bill, so make sure you have these documents handy in your glovebox.
3Driving a Van or Towing a Trailer?
Standard family cars can roll straight in, but larger vehicles require extra administrative steps. If you own a pickup, transit, or a sizeable trailer, you are required to apply for a free permit via the council's online portal ahead of your journey.
4Footwear and Site Safety
Operating machinery and broken glass make the area potentially hazardous. Always wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes—flip-flops or sandals are a bad idea. Additionally, keep any pets securely inside your vehicle while you use this rubbish tip.
5Commercial Dumping is Prohibited
This facility is strictly funded for domestic household clear-outs. Any waste generated by a business, including independent traders or landlords clearing rental properties, will be turned away at the gate.
6Save Time by Sorting at Home
To get in and out quickly, separate your materials before you load the boot. Group your metals, woods, and green garden debris together so you can easily drop them into the correct skips at your local tip without holding up the queue.
7Hazardous Materials and Restrictions
Not everything can be thrown away here. Highly dangerous items, particularly gas cylinders and asbestos, are not accepted under any circumstances. You will need to contact a specialist contractor for these specific hazards.
