What to know before visiting Chichester Tip

1Finding the Westhampnett Location

Situated just off Stane Street and the A27, this recycling site is in close proximity to the famous Rolls-Royce Motor Cars manufacturing plant. The entrance road can get quite busy on sunny bank holidays.

2Scheduling Your Arrival Time

Digital scheduling is in full effect across the district. Ensure you log into the local authority portal to confirm a timeframe before packing the car and heading to the Rubbish Tip.

3Residency Verification Checks

To prevent out-of-county visitors from overwhelming the services, you must display a valid document proving your local postcode at the welcome booth before being allowed to park.

4Large Capacity Vehicle Vouchers

If your primary transport is a modified camper, a hired transit, or includes a hitched trailer, you are required by law to hold a specific waste permit before unloading.

5On-Site Safety Protocols

Remain vigilant of moving machinery and other reversing drivers. Children and pets must stay safely inside your vehicle at all times, and drivers should observe the crawl-speed regulations across the yard.

6Commercial Load Rejections

Any debris generated by tradesmen, private landlords, or registered businesses will be refused outright. This infrastructure is funded solely for domestic taxpayer use.

7The Pre-Loved Outlet

Consider setting aside your usable pots, pans, and garden furniture. The on-site retail container takes these donations, saving them from destruction and passing the proceeds on to local charities.

8Refused Dangerous Materials

Do not attempt to offload marine flares, leaking vehicle batteries, or toxic solvents. The environmental guidelines here strictly forbid the processing of high-risk chemical compounds.
