What to know before visiting Eglinton Tip
1Finding the Site Near the Airport
Located conveniently close to the City of Derry Airport, this drop-off point is found within the Eglinton Industrial Estate. Just take the appropriate exit off the main A2 dual carriageway.
2Validating Your Postcode
Gate personnel are instructed to confirm that you live within the catchment area. Grab a recent household bill or official government correspondence before leaving the house to avoid being denied entry.
3Hired Vans and Permits
If you are borrowing or renting a van to clear out a residential property, you are required to apply for a temporary access certificate directly through the Derry Strabane website before making the journey.
4Pedestrian Awareness and Attire
Always watch out for pedestrians crossing between the elevated walkways and their cars. Make sure you wear sensible, grippy footwear, as slip-on shoes are a bad idea when lifting heavy or awkward items.
5Company Vehicle Restrictions
Branded company cars or vehicles carrying business refuse are not permitted to offload. The facility is meant exclusively for regular, everyday household clear-outs at the tip.
6Re-use Initiatives and Excluded Waste
You can often pass on usable bric-a-brac and furniture to the on-site reuse initiatives. However, industrial toxins, including engine oil in large quantities and structural asbestos, must be outsourced to private disposal firms.
