What to know before visiting Burton Farm Tip

1Reserving Your Time Slot

Warwickshire residents must book their visit online in advance. Upon arrival, the staff will ask to see a valid form of identification, such as a recent council tax bill or driving licence, to confirm you live within the county boundaries.

2Navigating to the Bishopton Area

Situated just off the A46 near Stratford-upon-Avon, the facility is easily accessible from the Bishopton roundabout. Keep an eye out for the Stratford Park and Ride, as the entrance to this local tip is located very close to it.

3Permits for Larger Vehicles

If you are driving a van, pick-up truck, or towing a large trailer, standard car bookings do not apply. You will need to apply for a specific commercial vehicle permit prior to your journey to guarantee entry.

4Keeping Safe on Site

For your own protection, sensible footwear is compulsory—strictly no flip-flops or open-toed sandals. Walking into the facility on foot is prohibited due to the heavy traffic, so remain in your vehicle until securely parked.

5Strictly No Commercial Refuse

This location is exclusively for domestic disposal. Any material generated from a trade, business, or landscaping enterprise will be turned away at the gates without exception.

6The On-Site Re-use Shop

Instead of throwing away items that are still in decent working order, consider dropping them off at the charity shop located near the entrance. They gladly accept furniture, books, and working electronics for resale.

7What Not to Bring

Certain hazardous materials are universally banned here. Do not attempt to dispose of gas cylinders, asbestos, or highly toxic chemicals, as the site does not have the infrastructure to safely process them.
