What to know before visiting Laurencekirk Tip
1Confirming Your Timeslot and Home Address
Without an electronic booking, the barriers simply will not open for you. In addition to your reservation, staff will inspect a piece of official mail or a driving licence to ensure you live locally.
2Directions from the Dual Carriageway
Conveniently situated just off the A90, you can easily access the compound by turning onto Aberdeen Road. It is prominently located right at the edge of the local industrial estate.
3Guidelines for Oversized Transport
For those borrowing a flatbed, van, or dragging a trailer, the council limits you to exactly 24 visits every calendar year. Your vehicle details must be accurately provided on the booking form.
4Protecting Yourself on the Tarmac
For your own well-being, never walk onto the site; you must arrive inside a vehicle. Pre-organise your rubbish bags by material type before departing, and always wear sensible, tough footwear on the concrete.
5Private Use Only No Contractors
This space is reserved strictly for everyday domestic clear-outs. Any individual trying to dispose of trade waste, such as leftover materials from a paid landscaping or plumbing job, will be swiftly rejected.
6Supporting Community Upcycling
There is a specially marked container for donating usable items rather than throwing them away. It is an excellent spot to drop off old books, toys, or small electronics that could benefit someone else.
7Prohibited and Risky Items
Do not attempt to hide dangerous goods in your black bags. Materials like bonded asbestos and empty LPG bottles are entirely banned from this facility due to the severe health and safety risks they carry.
