What to know before visiting Kimpton Park Way Tip

1Finding the Centre & Nearby Landmarks

The site is located deep inside the Kimpton Industrial Estate. The most straightforward route is via the A217 (Oldfields Road). Keep an eye out for the large Tesco Extra in Cheam; the main turn-off into the industrial park is just a short distance from that major roundabout.

2Pre-Booking and Essential ID

Spontaneous visits are not permitted. All residents must secure a dedicated time slot online before heading to the local tip. When you arrive at the gates, site staff will require your booking reference alongside a valid proof of Sutton residency, such as a physical driving licence or a recent utility bill.

3Rules for Vans, Pick-ups, and Trailers

If you are driving anything larger than a standard family car, standard entry rules do not apply. Anyone visiting the tip in a commercial-style vehicle, transit van, or towing a large trailer must apply for a specific vehicle permit in advance, as height barriers and vehicle checks are strictly enforced.

4On-Site Safety and Pre-Sorting

Health and safety is a priority across the site. Visitors must wear sturdy, enclosed footwear to prevent injuries from stray debris. To keep traffic flowing at the rubbish tip, please separate your materials into categories before leaving home. Additionally, children and pets must remain securely inside your vehicle at all times.

5Strictly No Trade or Business Waste

This public facility is strictly reserved for domestic household materials. Any waste generated from commercial activities, construction businesses, or paying tradespeople is completely prohibited. Business owners must arrange for commercial disposal at a licensed, paid transfer station.

6Maximising the Re-Use Facilities

Before you toss items into the crushing bays, consider if they could be given a second life. The waste tip includes a dedicated re-use area where you can drop off decent furniture and household items for charity. They also participate in a Community RePaint scheme for depositing leftover, usable tins of paint.

7Handling Hazardous and Restricted Items

Highly dangerous materials such as gas cylinders, corrosive chemicals, and asbestos cannot be mixed with general refuse. Asbestos requires a very specific double-wrapping process and a specialized council booking. Gas canisters must be clearly identified and handed over to staff for secure cage storage.
