A quick guide to Kibworth Tip

1Accessing via the A6 Harborough Road

Positioned directly along the bustling A6 Harborough Road, heading south out of the village, the turn-off for this tip is highly visible. Just be cautious of fast-moving traffic when pulling into the slip road.

2Bringing Your Paperwork

Only residents contributing to the local council tax pool can drop things off. Keep your driver's licence handy in the central console to easily prove your postcode upon arrival at the gates.

3Heavy Duty Transport Policies

If you have hired a box van for a weekend garage clear-out, do not just show up. The authority requires you to register the vehicle's registration plate online to get a valid entry certificate.

4Traffic Flow and Sensible Dressing

The layout here uses a strict one-way system to manage busy weekend queues. Pack your boot methodically so you can unload quickly, and always use the designated handrails when climbing the gantry steps.

5Household Clearances Only

Company vehicles carrying commercial refuse are strictly forbidden. The staff are highly trained to identify commercial loads and will immediately direct businesses to private waste management firms.

6Passing on Pre-Loved Goods

Give your unwanted possessions a chance at a new home. The dedicated drop-off zone for pre-loved goods takes in books, crockery, and small electricals, safely diverting them away from the crushers.

7Unacceptable Debris

For the protection of the environment and the workforce, you cannot dispose of highly reactive substances here. This includes large fuel canisters, clinical waste, and toxic agricultural poisons.
