What to know before visiting Fairgreen Tip

1Your Route to Portadown's Drop-Off

Located extremely close to the heart of Portadown, this recycling yard is situated on Duke Street. It is just a stone's throw from the central railway station, making it highly accessible but occasionally prone to town-centre traffic.

2Proving Your Borough Residency

Gate staff will demand to see a valid piece of documentation, like a recent council tax statement or bank letter, to verify that your household falls under the correct local authority jurisdiction.

3Handling Commercial-Style Transports

If you have borrowed a transit or rented a tipper for a massive garden clearance, you must hold the proper civic clearance document. Turning up in an oversized vehicle without prior authorisation guarantees a wasted journey.

4Protecting Yourself While Unloading

Separate your garden clippings from your plastics while you are still at your house. At this Waste Tip, pedestrians are barred from walking through the entrance, and protective, closed-toe footwear is highly advised while you walk around the skips.

5Profit-Based Rubbish is Rejected

Any debris stemming from a paying job or an independent business will be immediately turned away. The wardens are trained to spot commercial loads and will refuse them outright.

6The Upcycling Station

Pass over lightly used children's toys, bicycles, and working electronics to the dedicated charity containers rather than condemning them to landfill.

7Unaccepted Hazards and Toxins

Do not bring high-pressure gas cylinders, un-drained oil tanks, or toxic agricultural liquids, as the operatives cannot legally handle them under their current environmental licensing.
