What to know before visiting Weekend Tip

1Finding the Baths Road Entrance

Operating strictly on Saturdays and Sundays, this temporary gateway is accessed directly via Baths Road (BR2 9RB). It was established to help locals manage weekend clear-outs while the main infrastructure undergoes major upgrades.

2Mandatory Pre-Bookings and ID

Unlike the other depots, you absolutely must reserve a timeslot online before setting off. Upon arrival at the local tip, you will also need to flash your driver's licence or council tax paperwork to prove you live in the borough.

3Driving Larger Vehicles

Branded company trucks are unequivocally banned. If you arrive in a borrowed plain transit van, be prepared to sign a household declaration form confirming the origin of your load.

4Keeping Families and Pets Safe

Children and animals must remain securely inside your vehicle at all times. When you step out to unload at the rubbish tip, ensure you stay strictly within the painted pedestrian walkways and wear protective, flat shoes.

5Strict Ban on Renovation Rubble

Be aware that absolutely no DIY remnants are accepted at this location due to capacity limits. If you have bags of concrete, bricks, or broken tiles, you must divert your journey to the Churchfields site instead.

6What You Cannot Drop Off

This specific waste tip does not handle everyday dry recycling like cardboard boxes or plastic tubs. Furthermore, hazardous liquids, old tyres, and asbestos sheets will be instantly turned away at the gate.

7Commercial Refuse Regulations

Only everyday domestic clutter is permitted. Any tradespeople trying to sneak corporate waste into the tip will face immediate rejection, as the site caters exclusively to taxpayers' personal households.
