Ampthill tip to close for THREE WEEKS for maintenance work

Ampthill tip is closing for three weeks for “necessary maintenance work”.

It’s one of three household waste recycling centres in the area (Biggleswade and Leighton Buzzard) being shut temporarily from the end of this month until August.

The closures will take place consecutively for what Central Bedfordshire Council says is “necessary maintenance work”.

Ampthill’s tip will be closed from Wednesday, June 14 to Wednesday, July 5.

During time time, you can use Bedford, Biggleswade, Leighton Buzzard or Houghton Regis if you have any household waste.

Lorna Carver, director of place and communities at Central Bedfordshire Council, said: “This essential maintenance is required to ensure our recycling centres remain safe and tidy. During the closures residents are free to use any of our other recycling centres.

“We thank residents for their patience and understanding during this time and apologise for any inconvenience these closures may cause.”
