New Tip Site Directory Now Live!

[Steve Bullman]

After 12 months of development we are delighted to announce the launch of the new Arbtalk Tip Site Directory.

As an arborist of 22 years I am all too aware of the need to offload vehicles part way through the day.  Not a problem when working locally, but for companies working outside of their usual area, a place to unload can make a massive difference to the job.  Best case scenario, you have to spend an hour hunting round the local area, knocking at farmers doors...worst case scenario, you don't get the job finished.  This is where the tip site directory comes in.

 

How it works

Simply navigate to the search nearby tip sites button, enter your town/city, radius, and search!  Thats all there is to it.

 

Important information

Our listings are made up of a variety of sites, from recycling centres, to farms and equestrian centres, all the way to allotments and even regular homeowners.  Many of these tip sites have listed specific things they will or won't accept.  Please make sure you read through the listing thoroughly and give the tip site owner an honest account of what you propose to tip before arriving.

 

Your feedback is important

So we can continue to improve the directory, it is vitally important we have your feedback.  The best way you can do this by leaving a review each time you visit a tip site.  This can be found at the bottom of each listing.

In addition, we welcome feedback on how we can improve the directory as a whole.  Please take a minute to tell us how we did, and any features you think we should implement in future.  Please visit our feedback forum here

And sorry for the delay, we got there in the end though

What a great idea, I just had a scroll through it and found a few tips locally. 

 

Nice job on that Steve

Nice one Steve.

Wish this had been around 15 years ago.

 

Seems a bit easier than doing dangerous jobs with dodgy specs for farmers for next to nothing to build up a bank of tip sites in the traditional manner!

Yep we've all been there!!

Being the devil's advocate - should we not all be checking that the site we tip on has EA exemption for what we proposed tipping in place ?

Thats entirely up to you what you do.  I'm merely putting people who want wood chips in touch with people who have them to spare

Point taken. I think as Arbtalk is promoting sites, people should be aware of the legislation - none of us like skeletons in the cupboard that may appear later to haunt us ?

I tried it Steve, but got no search results? I could find local by sites by dragging the map around - unless that's all that's supposed to happen?

 

I tried again with a different postcode and got an error pop up saying I needed to enable localisation! (The postcode I was searching for isn't actually where I am...)

On Firefox 62, incidentally.
