What to know before visiting Crewkerne Tip

1Getting to Blacknell Lane Industrial Estate

Tucked inside the commercial district near the railway line, access is easiest via the A356. Watch for the directional boards once you pass the main industrial park gates.

2Bringing Your Driving Licence

Be prepared to flash a formal document proving you live in the county. A recent utility statement or photo identification works perfectly at the entrance booth.

3Site Etiquette and Apparel

Open sandals are a terrible idea when walking around heavy containers, so put on some sturdy boots. Also, keep your speed at a crawl while maneuvering around the bays.

4Zero Tolerance for Commercial Operators

Trying to sneak in materials from your day job will result in immediate refusal. This is funded strictly for domestic household clear-outs, not for professional contractors.

5Donating Usable Goods

Consider whether that old coffee table could benefit someone else. The dedicated salvage shed on-site welcomes items that still have plenty of life left in them.

6Banned and Hazardous Materials

Never bring highly combustible items, ammunition, or raw asbestos to this waste tip. Such highly sensitive substances require private, specialized collection services.
