What to know before visiting Troon Tip

1Arriving at Port Ranald Drive

Situated close to the coastline, this site is easily accessed off the main roads near the Ballast Bank area. Make sure to slow down and follow the one-way system as you approach the entrance gates.

2Mandated Slot Reservations

Turning up unannounced is no longer permitted under current council rules. Locals must log into the portal to claim their electronic access right and reserve a specific time window at this Local Tip.

3Guidelines for Commercial Operators

Independent contractors and companies are subject to distinct tariffs for their loads. Ensure you have made prior payment arrangements via the council, as corporate refuse is not subsidized.

4Donating and Disposing of Furniture

If your old seating is still in decent shape with fire tags attached, consider passing it to reuse networks like the Cunninghame Furniture Recycling Company. Otherwise, chemically treated couches must go into specialized recycling streams at the Waste Tip.

5Preparing Old Paint Cans

Liquid coatings will be rejected at the gate because they cause severe messes. Simply mix in some soil or sawdust at home to solidify the contents prior to your journey.

6Worker Safety Equipment

To deter aggressive behaviour and monitor site activities, all operatives are equipped with personal CCTV cameras. This technology captures audio, video, and license plates strictly for security purposes.
