Q: Do I need to book a Cambridgeshire tip?

No. You don’t need to book any of Cambridgeshire’s nine household recycling centres. Just turn up with your waste sorted. Pedestrians can’t use the sites, but you can cycle in.

Q: Can I take a van or trailer to a Cambridgeshire tip?

Yes, with a free e-permit. Vans, pick-ups and trailers between 1.5m and 2.5m long need one before you visit. It’s for Cambridgeshire residents, one per household, and allows up to 12 visits in 12 months. The largest vehicle allowed is 5.5m long and 2.3m high.

Q: Can I take DIY waste to a Cambridgeshire tip?

Yes, in small amounts from your own home. Waste from large building, demolition or renovation projects isn’t accepted, so use a skip or your district council’s bulky waste service instead.

Q: Can I use the Royston tip if I live in Cambridgeshire?

Royston Recycling Centre is in Hertfordshire. Cambridgeshire residents now need a cross border permit to use it.

Q: How do I report a pothole in Cambridgeshire?

Report it online to Cambridgeshire County Council, which looks after most roads and pavements in the county. National Highways looks after some major roads, such as the A14 and the A1.

Q: When are the Cambridgeshire school holidays?

Cambridgeshire County Council publishes term dates for Cambridgeshire schools. Some schools set their own dates, so check with your child’s school. Loci syncs council term dates automatically and reminds you when they’re coming up.

Q: Is Loci run by Cambridgeshire County Council?

No. Loci is an independent community platform. Loci links you to the council’s official webpages, where you can report problems and make requests.
