Recycling Centres across the Derry City and Strabane District Council area will transition to Winter Opening Hours from Monday, 28th September 2026.

From Monday, most Recycling Centres will adopt revised hours - except Pennyburn, Strathfoyle, Strahan’s Road, and Spamount - which will continue to open on their normal hours.

Claudy, Donemana, Newtownstewart and Glendermott will continue to close on a Sunday and Monday. For the rest of the week they will open at 9:30am and close at 4:50pm, except a Saturday when they will close at 4:20pm.

Eglinton, Park and Plumbridge will also be open 9:30am until 4:50pm expect a Monday when they will open 10am until 4:50pm. They will close on a Saturday and Sunday.

Pennyburn, Strathfoyle and Strahan’s Road will continue to open 8am until 7:50pm Monday to Friday, and close at 5:50pm on a Saturday. They will open 1pm-4:50pm on a Sunday.

Spamount will open at 10am until 4:30pm apart from a Monday when they will not open until 10:30am. They will be closed on Saturday and Sunday.

Large vans are allowed into Claudy, Donemana, Plumbridge, Newtownstewart and Spamount in the first hour of the day, after that they must book online for either Pennyburn, Strabane or Strathfoyle.

Residents are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the opening times of their local Recycling Centre over the Winter months. These Winter hours will replace the extended Summer timetable currently in operation.
