What to know before visiting Pottery Street Tip
1Getting There & Surroundings
Located conveniently off the A8 in Greenock, this facility is situated near the bustling Clyde waterfront. When approaching the industrial estate, follow the signposts from the main roundabout to easily locate the entrance of the Rubbish Tip.
2Verifying Your Address
Inverclyde residents must present valid identification upon arrival. A recent utility bill or a valid driving licence is perfect to confirm your home address before the attendants lift the barrier.
3Van Permits and Large Vehicles
Before bringing a hired van or large trailer to this Local Tip, ensure you have acquired the necessary permissions from the council. Heavy-duty vehicles are closely monitored to prevent unauthorized commercial dumping.
4Pre-Sorting For Efficiency
To speed up your visit, organise your boot at home. Keep your metals, plastics, and green garden clippings in separate piles so you can drop them straight into the correct skips without holding up the queue.
5Pedestrian and Traffic Safety
Keep your speed down to a crawl once you pass the gates. High-vis clothing isn't mandatory for the public, but wearing sensible, closed-toe shoes is highly recommended due to the potential for sharp debris on the ground.
6Commercial Waste Acceptance
Unlike some other depots, registered businesses can dispose of trade waste here, provided they adhere to SEPA regulations. You must declare your commercial load at the weighbridge and pay the associated commercial tariffs.
7Prohibited Hazardous Items
Never bring dangerous goods such as asbestos sheets or pressurised gas cylinders. These pose severe environmental and health risks and must be collected by specialised hazardous disposal teams instead.
