Whinney Hill Tip

Hi - I've just bought a terraced house in Clayton and am starting to refurb. Can I take rubble/bricks to Whinney Hill Tip? I've looked on the website but it doesn't do a comprehensive list of what you can and can't take - do they have general skips there?

Yep they have a rubble skip

Don't go in a large van though.

You can get permits to take a van, so long as it`s not twin axle.

Not twin axle, that`s trailers, vans must only have two wheels per axle.

Thanks very much for these replies. My friend has a trailor with just two wheels so we should be okay without a permit.

Google earth it Alan... it will take some filling..there's a walk takes you from Whinney Hill road across the back of the old kilns to the old Altham Moorfield pit. The depth/volume of the hole is amazing.

haslingden tip is less fussy they just get the job done as it comes in.Whinney hill is full of little jobsworths that insist on inspecting every bag you take in so if you get any messing about at whinney hill look up the haslingden tip and make a call just to check first but there shouldnt be a problem.Its a bit more of a trek but sometimes a little further is worth a lot less hassle

Where can twin-axle vehicles go in our area? I had a complaint from a resident re twin-axle vehicle being refused access to Whinney Hill Tip.

I think they would have to use the none domestic bit where they go over the weighbridge and they would have to pay.

Probably best to give them a ring and ask though, phone number in link on post #4

They will probably just fly tip like other people in the same situation. I can't understand why they can't sign the book to say its domestic and empty like the rest of us. We have a twin axle trailer at work I can borrow but the waste would be from my house so is domestic.

It`s daft isn`t it, it`s the same if you have a van that has dual rear wheels, what difference does it make, it`s still crap from my house.

Worked at Whinney Hill tip in 84. Just as it was getting warmer, the nearby incinerator failed. It meant that the local vets brought a LOT of dead animals to us. Lots of heavy black plastic bags with Rover and Tibbles in them left outside the gates of an evening to be sorted out upon arrival in the morning. Sadly, the vermin often got to the bags first. Yummy!
