What to know before visiting Polmaise Tip

1Finding the Main Fallin Depot

This large-scale hub is located just off the A905, right before you reach the village of Fallin. Its massive weighbridge and extensive road markings make it impossible to miss as you drive down the main carriageway.

2Confirming Stirling District Citizenship

Only bona fide locals get to use the household bays without charge. The team at the gatehouse will request a glance at your driver's card or a recent utility statement to establish your right to use the Tip.

3Protocol for Large Capacity Vans

Navigating the site in a leased box truck or with a hitched carriage implies stricter oversight. You must register your vehicle’s registration plate through the council's digital booking calendar to gain authorized access.

4Protective Measures on the Tarmac

With HGVs and heavy loaders operating constantly, your safety is paramount. Keep your speed to a crawl, do not let children out of the backseat, and consider wearing high-visibility clothing while unloading at the Waste Tip.

5Paying for Corporate Refuse

Unlike smaller sites, this location actually accommodates business drop-offs, provided you follow the rules. Commercial operators must drive onto the official weighbridge, declare their cargo, and settle the appropriate landfill tax invoice.

6The Renowned Re-Use Cabin

Don't rush to throw away functioning bicycles, books, or intact wooden tables. Hand them over at the dedicated upcycling hub, where local social enterprises clean and resell goods to fund community projects.

7Items Excluded from General Disposal

You cannot just dump everything you find in your garage here. Pressurized oxygen bottles, toxic farming chemicals, and cement-bonded asbestos demand specialist removal and are entirely banned from this Rubbish Tip.
