Drumlough household recycling centre

Dromara Road, Hillsborough, Co Down BT26 6QA

22/09/2025: From Wednesday 24 September we will be unable to accept metal at Drumlough Household Recycling Centre (HRC) due to surface refurbishment. Metal will still be accepted at Carryduff or The Cutts HRCs. We will update our social media channels when metals can be accepted at Drumlough HRC again. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Due to Storm Floris our three HRCs at The Cutts, Drumlough and Carryduff are closed today.
