What to know before visiting Chorley Tip

1Approaching via Coppull Road

Situated right near the picturesque Yarrow Valley Country Park, you can access the compound by turning directly off Coppull Road. Keep an eye out for the prominent signage pointing toward the recycling zone.

2Postcode Checks at the Gate

Be prepared to flash some official documentation showing you actually reside within the Lancashire catchment area. A recent utility statement is usually sufficient to wave you through.

3Booking Requirements for Heavy Haulers

Turning up unannounced in a large box van is a guaranteed way to get turned around. The council demands digital reservations for any vehicle that is not a standard family runabout.

4Banning Business Debris

Plumbers, electricians, and professional clear-out crews are totally banned from using these domestic skips. This facility is bankrolled by taxpayers strictly for residential use.

5Donating Instead of Destroying

Before tossing your old furniture or electronics into the crusher, consider taking them to the designated reuse area. It is a fantastic way to pass on functional items to the community.

6Prohibited Dangerous Goods

Before heading out to the Tip, check that you do not have any gas canisters or highly toxic chemicals hidden in your load. These volatile items are strictly barred from the general skips for safety reasons.
