What to know before visiting Donemana Tip

1Directions to the Berryhill Road Compound

Situated conveniently for those in the southern rural stretch of the council area, the site is accessed via Berryhill Road. It is only a stone's throw from the River Dennett and the central village crossroad.

2Bringing the Right Paperwork

To prevent cross-border dumping, workers will request proof that your dwelling is situated within the Derry and Strabane lines. A standard utility bill from the last three months is all you need to show.

3Trailer and Tipper Permissions

Using a vehicle designed for heavy cargo means you cannot just arrive unannounced. Ensure you have applied for the necessary municipal clearance online, otherwise, the barrier will not be lifted for you.

4Pre-Packing and Cautious Movement

Grouping your recyclables into distinct categories at home makes your trip incredibly swift. Once on-site, stick to the strictly enforced crawling speed in your car, ensuring absolute safety for everyone around the waste tip.

5Strictly Personal Refuse Only

Any waste generated from your livelihood or a side hustle is completely forbidden here. The operators monitor skip usage closely to ensure that limited taxpayer resources are not swallowed up by private enterprises.

6Items You Must Leave at Home

You cannot bring hazardous structural materials like corrugated asbestos or unstable chemicals into the yard under any circumstances. Instead, focus on bringing everyday recyclables or items suitable for the local charity collection points.
