What to know before visiting Cherry Orchard Tip

1Mandatory Appointments and ID

Turning up without an appointment will result in being refused entry. Ensure you have secured a booking through the council portal and have your proof of residency ready to display through your car window.

2Finding the Kenilworth Facility

Navigating to this waste tip is straightforward if you head towards Kenilworth's eastern edge. The entrance is tucked away off Pipers Lane, just past the railway bridge and the local industrial units.

3Policies for Vans and Trailers

Heavy-duty transport requires special authorisation. If your vehicle lacks rear windows or you are pulling a heavy-duty trailer, you must obtain a dedicated voucher from the local authority beforehand.

4Pedestrian and Footwear Rules

Safety barriers and heavy machinery make walking in extremely dangerous, hence it is strictly banned. Additionally, make sure you sort your recyclables into separate bags before leaving home to minimise the time spent standing outside your car.

5Household Materials Only

Site operators monitor deposits closely to prevent builders and contractors from dumping materials. Only everyday domestic clutter and garden trimmings from your own private residence are accepted.

6Donating Second-Hand Goods

A designated drop-off zone exists for pre-loved goods. If you have bicycles, crockery, or homewares that someone else could love, hand them over to the reuse staff rather than tossing them in the general skips.

7Hazardous and Banned Goods

To comply with environmental laws, you must find alternative specialist disposal for clinical waste, commercial tyres, and explosive substances, as they are strictly forbidden from being left at this location.
