What to know before visiting Petersfield Tip

1Locating the Bedford Road Compound

Situated near the Taro Leisure Centre, this facility is tucked away just off the A3. The entrance is well-marked within the bustling Bedford Road industrial district, making it very straightforward to find.

2Securing an Arrival Window and Proof of Address

Unplanned visits are a thing of the past. Ensure you have booked a specific time slot on the Hampshire portal and remember to bring a recent utility letter to verify you are a genuine local resident.

3Clearance for High-Capacity Autos

Those utilizing transit vans or towing substantial loads must navigate extra red tape. Acquiring a digital waiver ahead of your journey is absolutely essential to avoid gate rejection.

4Diligence on the Tarmac

Wear thick-soled boots to protect your toes from sharp hazards, and keep pets securely inside the car. Grouping your recyclables together before you arrive will vastly speed up your run through this Waste Tip.

5Strict Bar on Free Corporate Dumping

Debris resulting from paid employment cannot be dumped on the taxpayer's dime. Independent builders and gardeners must declare their commercial haul and pay the requisite tonnage fees.

Do not condemn perfectly good homewares to the crusher. The onsite charity team is always looking for working electronics, furniture, and books to recirculate into the community.

Highly reactive substances, including pressurized canisters and wet asbestos, present massive safety risks. These are outright banned from the general skips and require specialized environmental handling.
