What to know before visiting Lutterworth Tip

1Locating the Moorbarns Lane Facility

Positioned a short distance from the sprawling Magna Park logistics hub, this local tip is very straightforward to find. Just follow the A5 until you spot the prominent council signage guiding you down the rural lane.

2Verifying Your Leicestershire Address

Because this amenity is financed by the community, non-residents are blocked from dropping off junk. Simply display a physical utility letter or a digital bank statement on your smartphone to bypass the security checks.

3Van and Trailer Authorisation

Dropping off grass clippings in a hatchback requires zero preparation. In contrast, those utilizing flatbed trucks or towing large loads must apply for an entry exemption certificate online before leaving the driveway.

4Protecting Yourself and Others

Sharp edges and heavy objects are everywhere, so thick-soled shoes are strongly recommended. To ensure a smooth experience, adhere to the strict speed restrictions and follow all instructions given by the high-vis staff members.

5No Access for Tradespeople

Taxpayer-funded amenities are strictly off-limits to profit-making businesses. If your boot is packed with industrial tiling or shop-fitting remnants, the marshals will refuse your load and point you toward a paid commercial yard.

6Donating Decent Belongings

Before hurling your unwanted lamps or bookshelves into the metal crushers, consider whether someone else might appreciate them. The on-site second-hand initiative welcomes donations of fully functional goods to raise money for good causes.

7Highly Regulated Materials

Please be aware that severely hazardous items cannot be safely stored here. You will need to find specialist disposal routes for things like asbestos sheeting, highly pressurized oxygen tanks, and agricultural pesticides.
