What to know before visiting Ballymoney - Knock Road Tip

1Approaching the Knock Road Depot

Situated just down the street from the bustling Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre, this secondary Ballymoney site is highly accessible for those running weekend errands on the eastern edge of the town.

2Gateway Address Checks

Don't get caught out at the barrier. You must present a valid piece of paperwork—like a bank statement matching your name or a driving license—showing that you pay your taxes directly to the Causeway council.

3Towing and Hire Restrictions

Borrowing a substantial panel van or attaching a heavy-duty carriage for your DIY debris? Ensure you have finalized your commercial-vehicle exemption pass online before making the trip, or you will face a swift turnaround.

4Keeping Out of Harm's Way

Sort your plastics, metals, and textiles at your own house to avoid lingering near the heavy machinery. When navigating this Rubbish Tip, closed-toe footwear is mandatory, creeping speeds are heavily enforced, and walking through the main gates is banned.

5Why Builders Must Go Elsewhere

This compound serves family households only. Anyone hauling construction rubble or shop-fitting debris from a profit-making gig will be asked to leave immediately to prevent misuse of public funds.

6Donating to Community Projects

Help reduce unnecessary waste by passing your lightly worn books and functioning electronics to the on-site upcycling containers, which are championed by regional charity partners.

7Items That Trigger a Refusal

The operatives hold strict licenses that forbid the processing of highly hazardous freight. Bringing intact oil drums, corrosive industrial acids, or any form of asbestos tiles will result in an immediate rejection.

Yes, the tip is open on bank holidays.

Can I bring a camper van or transit van?
