What to know before visiting Knowle Hill Tip
1Finding the Exmouth compound
Positioned conveniently off Salterton Road (B3178), the site is flanked by the surrounding Knowle Hill woodland. Watch out for the designated turning lanes, which help manage the weekend traffic queues that occasionally spill out onto the main road.
2Confirming Local Tax Status
Since this Rubbish Tip is subsidized by the community, non-residents are blocked from entering. Simply hold up a physical or digital copy of your current council tax demand through your window to satisfy the marshals and gain quick entry.
3Booking Large Capacity Vehicles
Standard hatchbacks face no administrative hurdles, but bringing a panel truck or a horsebox changes the rules entirely. A pre-arranged access ticket must be secured through the governmental dashboard to guarantee your spot during busy periods.
4Pacing Your Vehicle on the Tarmac
The compound features a lot of blind corners and heavy machinery crossing your path. Drivers must crawl along at an absolute maximum of five miles per hour and remain hyper-vigilant of reversing vehicles at all times.
5Rejecting Paid Project Materials
The facility operates on a strict non-commercial mandate. Anybody arriving with a trunk full of rubble generated from a paid bathroom refit or professional gardening job will be denied service on the spot.
6The Second-Hand Drop Zone
Consider the environmental impact before tossing your old wardrobe into the crusher. The on-site thrift initiative welcomes structurally sound homewares and working appliances, keeping them far away from the landfill and supporting great causes.
7Zero Tolerance for Lethal Chemicals
Flammable liquids, marine pyrotechnics, and sheets of corrugated asbestos are treated with extreme caution. The staff cannot safely process highly volatile materials without prior notification and specialized handling instructions outlined on the main website.
