What to know before visiting Kilrea Tip

1Getting to the Lisnagrot Road Drop-Off

Situated on the outskirts of this historic market town, the facility is easily found along the Lisnagrot Road. It serves as an essential hub for residents living near the River Bann crossings and is clearly signposted from the town centre.

2Clearing the Postcode Check

To protect local funding, the site is exclusive to Causeway Coast and Glens residents. You must present a formal piece of mail or your driving license to the gatekeepers to validate your address before proceeding.

3Rules for Towing and Transits

If a standard car boot won't suffice and you need a high-capacity van or a hitched trailer, an online waiver must be secured in advance. Arriving with a bulky transport without this paperwork is a guaranteed way to be turned around.

4Organising Your Junk Off-Site

To ensure a frictionless experience at this Waste Tip, pre-sort your household clutter into logical piles before setting off. Once on the grounds, never attempt to walk your rubbish in through the gates, drive with extreme care, and wear closed-toe shoes.

5Why Commercial Refuse is Blocked

The compound is strictly ring-fenced for private households. Subcontractors and businesses attempting to dump bulk packaging or construction materials will be caught and permanently banned from the premises.

6The Second-Hand Shed

Help minimize environmental impact by diverting usable homewares, old gardening tools, and read paperbacks into the charity collection zones rather than the main compactors.

7What is Banned?

Staff cannot safely handle highly toxic or reactive materials. Please do not bring raw asbestos, large pressurized cooking cylinders, or un-drained fuel tanks, as they will be immediately refused.
