What to know before visiting Comber Tip
1Locating the Glen Road Facility
Nestled just outside the main town centre heading towards the countryside, you will discover the Comber depot on Glen Road, quite close to the Enler River. The entrance is wide but can get busy during peak Saturday hours.
2Digital Reservations and ID Requirements
Nobody is permitted entry without a digital booking. You must present your e-ticket alongside official documentation—such as a recent bank statement or rates demand—proving your residence within the borough limits.
3Rules Regarding Oversized Transports
Residents borrowing a van or hooking up a trailer must specify their transport method on the portal. Failure to declare your specific vehicle class could result in denied entry at the barrier.
4On-Site Hazards and Material Separation
Throwing mixed recyclables into general landfill skips is an absolute violation of council policy. Always segregate materials beforehand, stick to the 5mph limit, don sensible footwear, and stay inside your car until parked safely.
5Zero Tolerance for Trade Waste
Commercial enterprises are barred from dumping their operational by-products here. This Tip is strictly maintained for household refuse only, and persistent offenders operating businesses will face scrutiny.
6Giving Second-Hand Goods a New Home
Instead of crushing items that still have life left in them, consider dropping off old books, toys, and small furnishings at the designated charity spot to help the wider community.
7Materials You Cannot Leave Behind
Highly toxic compounds, fibrous asbestos sheeting, and un-drained heating oil containers will be immediately rejected by the site managers due to strict licensing laws.
