What to know before visiting Hortonwood Tip

1Establishing Borough Constituency

Telford and Wrekin gatekeepers need to know you contribute to regional taxes. Bring a recent utility letter or your vehicle logbook to prove your home address before the boom gate is lifted for your vehicle.

2Driving to the Northern Industrial Estate

Situated on Hortonwood 50, this facility is easily approached from the A518 or the Trench Lock interchange. Look for the distinct municipal signposting just past the major distribution warehouses to find the entrance.

3Authorising Light Commercials and Trailers

Planning to haul your clear-out in a crew-cab pickup or towing a massive load? You are strictly obligated to acquire an electronic Telford commercial transit pass prior to your arrival at the local tip.

4Navigating the Drop-off Bays Securely

Steer clear of flip-flops; hard-wearing shoes are vital to guard against rogue nails or shattered glass on the ground. Please remain attentive to the site speed limits and strictly observe the painted walking lanes.

5Absolute Ban on Commercial Yields

This amenity operates exclusively for private residential clean-ups. Any load that appears to stem from a paid gig, such as a bathroom fitting business or landscaping firm, will be turned away instantly.

6The On-Site Revamp Kiosk

Do not send perfectly viable furniture to be crushed. The dedicated salvage team on the premises is always keen to accept working vacuums, intact bookshelves, and readable novels for community resale.

7Prohibited Dangerous Discards

The site is not equipped to process volatile or highly reactive goods. Consequently, you must arrange private collections for things like industrial pesticides, compressed oxygen canisters, and raw asbestos.
