What to know before visiting Stevenage Tip
1Who Can Use This Facility?
To preserve capacity for the immediate community, the barrier staff will ask to view proof of your local residency. A quick flash of a water bill gets you straight into the tip.
2Driving to Caxton Way
Situated right in the heart of the Gunnels Wood Road commercial district, this location is incredibly convenient for anyone doing a quick hop off the A1(M) junctions.
3Exemptions for Light Goods Vehicles
Anyone pulling up in a pickup truck or utilizing a domestic trailer must have previously submitted an online application to the authorities to receive a valid entry voucher.
4Navigating the Ramps and Skips
Be highly vigilant of your footing when climbing the stairs to the upper containers. Furthermore, keep all dogs inside your vehicle, as the loud noises and moving vehicles create a dangerous environment for pets.
5Banning Profit-Driven Disposals
If you are being paid to clear a garden or renovate a kitchen, you cannot dump the resulting mess here. The council actively monitors for and ejects suspected tradespeople.
6Streamlining Your Visit
Bagging up your domestic clutter into logical categories before you leave home—such as keeping plastics entirely separate from old clothing—will make your time on the gantries significantly shorter.
7Banned Propane and Corrosives
Explosive camping gas and hazardous environmental pollutants like asbestos are explicitly restricted. You must arrange for a certified specialist to remove these from your property.
