What to know before visiting Coleraine Tip

1Directions to the Loughanhill Depot

Positioned within the busy Loughanhill Industrial Estate, this primary amenity is accessible via the Ballycastle Road. Follow the large blue municipal signs once you enter the estate, bearing in mind that traffic can peak during weekday lunch hours.

2Address Verification Checks

To utilize this Local Tip, you are required to prove your domicile within the Causeway Coast and Glens jurisdiction. A quick flash of a recent household utility bill or a valid driving license at the entrance barrier will ensure you are waved straight through.

3Bringing Oversized Loads

Residents undertaking massive home clearances with a hired box van or pulling a twin-axle trailer must secure an electronic exemption certificate beforehand. If you arrive in an unregistered large vehicle, the marshals are obliged to refuse entry.

4Yard Protocol and Attire

Streamline your drop-off by splitting your metals, glass, and greenery in your driveway. Once on the tarmac, walking in from the street is strictly vetoed, enclosed footwear is a must to prevent puncture wounds, and the speed limit is severely restricted.

5The Stance on Business Debris

Operations here are bankrolled by domestic rates, meaning professional outfits are totally prohibited. If your cargo consists of shop refit materials or paid landscaping offcuts, you will need to find a commercial alternative.

6Saving Items from the Crusher

Do not rush to destroy decent furniture or readable books. Inquire with the ground staff about the dedicated community donation cabins, which help funnel usable goods to regional charitable organizations.

7Red-Flagged Cargo

Deeply hazardous elements fall outside the site's environmental permit. You must completely avoid bringing fibrous asbestos, large industrial gas bottles, or corrosive chemicals to the yard.
