Same day bookings introduced for MK tips

book visit to tip milton keynes

Milton Keynes Council has made it even easier for MK residents to book a trip to the tip with the launch of same-day appointment booking.

Since the booking system was introduced in May 2020 to help protect local people during the pandemic, more than 300,000 visits have been made to MK’s household waste recycling centres. Until now, bookings could only be made more than a day in advance.

The Council has listened to customer feedback and introduced new and flexible options to book same-day slots as well as to cancel and reschedule bookings online. Also changing is the need to provide a registration number in advance if you’re using a hire car to visit a tip.

It’s quick and easy to book a slot at www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/hwrc although residents can always call if they need extra help. MK’s tips are open seven days a week.

Managing the flow of visitors to the tips has stopped historic traffic queues that would occasionally reach a main grid road – causing potential safety issues for motorists. It’s also meant the Council can crack down on people from outside MK, including businesses, using the borough’s tips. The Council estimates that as many as one in five people using the tips before the booking system lived outside MK, which was a significant drain on resources. Around £220,000 has been saved as a result of introducing the system and stopping misuse.

Cllr Lauren Townsend, Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, said: “We’re pleased to be able to add extra flexibility to the booking system as we know some residents aren’t in a position to know exactly when they’ll be ready to take their waste and recycling to the tip, and for them a same-day option is especially helpful. We want everyone to have a safer and better experience using the tips in Milton Keynes, and that includes no queues and no worries when they get to the site.”

MK tip booking system given 5 out 5 star rating

Milton Keynes residents have judged MK Council’s tip booking system to be a resounding success, with 85% of people using the quick and easy system giving it a 5-star rating.

book visit to tip milton keynes

Since August, around 20,000 local people booking a slot rated the system and 91% chose to give it at least 4 stars.

MK’s tips are used by hundreds of thousands of residents annually, and bookings were introduced in May 2020 to help protect local people during COVID-19.

Following their feedback, the Council launched same day booking slots last month as well as new options to cancel and reschedule bookings online. Early figures show customer satisfaction is rising even further as a result.

Cllr Lauren Townsend, Cabinet Member for the Public Realm said, “I’m delighted that so many local people are happy with the system. We introduced bookings to keep people safer during the pandemic, but this isn’t the only advantage.

“We used to see queues of cars on busy roads nearby, and that’s a thing of the past. It’s also stopped people from outside MK using our tips instead of their own, which puts less strain on resources and means we’ve saved around £220,000. Before the booking system, one in five people using our tips weren’t local.”

MK’s tips are open seven days a week. It’s easy to book a slot at www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/hwrc although residents can always call if they need extra help.

Milton Keynes Council thanks residents for their patience to book slots at tips

Milton Keynes Council has taken more than 2,000 bookings in its first week since re-opening its three Household Waste Recycling Centres.

The council tripled the number of people answering calls and has extended its customer service opening hours to seven days a week to answer as many calls as possible. An online booking system will also be available from next week.

Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, Councillor Emily Darlington said: “I’d like to thank everyone for their patience in booking a slot for our sites. We know wait times are high but it’s safer to wait on the phone rather than at a crowded centre.”

“We’ve seen what happens when other areas have opened their tips without an appointment system or are reliant on an online booking system which have resulted in queues onto main roads, wait times of over 2 hours and booking systems that have collapsed."

Follow Total MK  on Facebook:   here  and twitter   here  for breaking news in Milton Keynes

"We wanted to ensure a safer and better experience in Milton Keynes. We have no queues at our sites, and social distancing has been maintained since day one.”

The tips are open seven days a week for pre-booked MK residents, with 400 x 15 minute slots made available for each day. Newport Pagnell and Bleak Hall sites are open from 8:00am – 6:00pm, and New Bradwell from 7:00am – 7:00pm.

Some residents are turning up without an appointment, but without prior booking and your message of confirmation (either printed or on your phone) you will not be allowed to enter.

The council is sharing regular updates on its social media channels about how far ahead bookings are being taken. At the time of writing the Bleak Hall site is fully booked until 25 May and the other two sites have some availability this weekend (23/24 May).

Residents are asked to book only if the visit is essential to drop off waste that cannot be stored at home safely. To book a slot call 01908 252811.

Frequently asked questions about bleak hall recycling centre.

Brown bins are not that common in the UK. However, if the town hall to which you belong has them, this is what you can deposit in these containers:

The brown containers are for mixed recycling in most of the country’s municipalities where this color is issued. These mixed recycling materials include:

  • Plastic bottles
  • Beverage cans
  • Aerosol sprays
  • Aluminum foil (including trays)
  • Glass bottles and jars

However, you must make sure what type of materials you should deposit in your brown container by contacting your nearest recycling center directly, since in some municipalities the brown containers are intended for organic waste from the garden and food waste.

There are household waste recycling centers in all the municipalities of the United Kingdom, and surely there is one near your home, and now finding it is very easy! We have developed a special search form on our page so you can find the recycling center closest to you in minutes!

You just have to access the following link and enter your postal code or address.

To go to this page, you must click on the “Recycling center Search” button.

The UK recyclable waste service is a municipal service. However, it is only for materials generated in homes.

The cost of commercial materials is variable and depends on many factors:

  • Location: in more frequented industrial estates, costs are usually lower than in rural places that are more difficult to access.
  • The type of waste: some materials, such as toxic waste, need special treatment so they use more resources to manage them, and therefore their price is high.
  • Volumes: the greater volume of waste you generate, the higher the price you have to pay for it. However, if the amounts produced are tons, you may get a reduction in the payment for handling your waste.

It is better to contact your nearest recycling center by phone or email to check the final cost.

To visit a household waste recycling center you need to book an appointment in advance. To book an appointment at your nearest recycling center, you can visit their website and book your appointment online.

If the website of your tip does not have this function enabled, you can contact your nearest tip by phone to schedule your visit to the recycling center. In any of the cases, after your booking, you should receive a confirmation email.

If you have recently cleaned out your closet and you have clothes that you no longer use and you are thinking of throwing them away, you can check on our website which is the nearest recycling center where you can leave clothes, textiles and shoes that you no longer use.

You can find this information by choosing the category Cloth & Fabrics. There you will see the list of recycling centers with contact information: addresses, phones, e-mails.

Community Skips

book visit to tip milton keynes

MK Council currently provides three local Household Waste Recycling Centres , sometimes known as 'tips', to dispose of large household items free of charge. MK Council also provides a chargeable bulky waste collection  service. 

In addition to this, Parish and Town Councils may consider organising a Community Skip to provide a local opportunity for people to dispose of waste safely and lawfully.

Key considerations - hints and tips

Below are some tips for a successful Community Skip where this has been done in other areas:

  • consider limiting to one skip visit per household or up to three bulky household items
  • prenotification / reservation of time slots to avoid everyone turning up at once
  • proof of local residency should be provided on the day of visiting the Community Skip
  • encourage swapping / takeaway items to reduce waste and put items to better use
  • manage expectations – those who use the Community Skip are unlikely to be the people who otherwise would consider fly tipping
  • promote the bulky waste collection and free tips in MK
  • consider working together on community tip bookings or communal bulky waste collections for those who struggle to access these services.
  • Encourage the community to  report fly tips  along with supporting evidence to the council.

Community Skips should be monitored constantly to ensure that the waste is stored and segregated carefully and to enable the waste to be described accurately. This is a legal requirement of the Community Skip organiser under their Duty of Care.

Key considerations - types of waste

Ideal waste to target for Community Skips would be:

  • furniture e.g. mattresses, bed frames
  • large garden items e.g. large branches, fence posts, broken play equipment
  • DIY type wastes e.g. rubble, hardcore, soil, doors, skirting boards, timber

It is recommended that the Community Skips are used for bulky household waste only and not for general waste such as black sacks and garden waste, which should be put out for the weekly refuse, recycling and food & garden waste collections.

The Community Skips should not be used for waste electrical and electronic items which require specialist treatment prior to recycling. This includes large items such as fridges and freezers and small items such as toasters and kettles.

We would suggest that batteries are not accepted in the Community Skips as they can lead to fires.

We would strongly recommend that the Community Skips are not used for Hazardous Waste e.g. asbestos, gas bottles or household chemicals e.g. paints (unless hardened), thinners and weed killer.

Tyres and plasterboard should not be allowed in the Community Skips as they require specialist treatment and disposal (speak to your skip hire company for advice).

Avoid commercial and industrial (business) waste as this should be disposed of responsibly by the producer / business owner and not met by the local community.

Skip permits

Skip companies are usually responsible for getting skip licences, also sometimes called skip permits. A Community Skip organiser will need to contact MKC if they want to put a skip on a public road (this is a chargeable service).

The organiser may need to ensure that the skip includes appropriate safety lights and markings on or around the skip. This could include:

  • reflective markings
  • traffic cones
  • night-time safety lamps
  • the name and telephone number of the skip hire company.

Information on skip licences can be found on this webpage.

Duty of care

The Community Skip organiser will have a legal responsibility to ensure that they produce, store, transport and dispose of the waste without harming the environment. This is known as “duty of care”.

The duty of care applies to anyone who imports, produces, carries, keeps, treats, disposes or brokers the removal of waste. A Community Skip organiser is likely to be considered as the Waste Producer and/or a Waste Broker.

The duty of care has no time limit. You are legally responsible for your waste from when you produce it until you have transferred it to an authorised person. However, the duty does not end when you hand over the waste to the next holder. It extends along the entire chain of management of your waste. If you think that your waste is not being managed correctly you must take action to check and prevent this. You must:

  • segregate, store and transport  your waste appropriately and securely, making sure that you do not cause any pollution or harm to human health.
  • check that your waste is  transported and handled  by people or businesses that are authorised to do so.
  • ensure that  waste transfer notes  are completed, including a full, accurate description of the waste, to document all waste transferred and keep it for your records.

More information on the duty of care can be found on  gov.uk
