Derryclure Recycling Centre Opening Hours
Oxigen’s current Derryclure page publishes a six-day weekly opening pattern. The centre is closed on bank holidays.

Phone before a difficult load
Call if you have a commercial-looking load, large quantity, unusual waste, chemicals, paint, rubble or another item not clearly listed.
Map limitation: a map pin confirms location, not whether your item is accepted or what you will pay. Check the waste type separately before driving with a loaded vehicle.
What Can You Bring to Derryclure Recycling Centre?
Oxigen’s current Derryclure page publishes a broad list for domestic householders. Sorting before you arrive is important because many streams have their own container or preparation rule.
Cans and tins
Aluminium drink cans and food or metal tins are listed. Remove obvious food residue and foil where required.
Plastic bottles
Milk, mineral and similar plastic bottles are listed. Oxigen asks for them washed and without lids.
Tetrapak cartons
Milk and juice cartons are included. Empty and rinse them before bringing them to the site.
Glass bottles and jars
Green, brown and clear glass bottles and jars are listed. The current guidance asks users to sort glass by colour.
Paper and magazines
Newspapers, paper, junk mail, glossy magazines and comics are accepted.
Cardboard
Food boxes and cardboard packaging are listed, with clean and dry material requested.
Timber
Old furniture and skirting board are listed. Remove bolts, hinges and glass before arrival.
Garden and green waste
Grass and hedge clippings are listed. Do not mix clay or stones into the green-waste load.
Flat glass
Window glass is listed, but wood and frames should be removed first.
Batteries, oils and lighting
Batteries
Car batteries and household batteries are both listed. Keep them separate from ordinary mixed recycling.
Fluorescent tubes
Fluorescent tubes are accepted. Transport them carefully so they do not break in the vehicle.
Waste and cooking oil
Waste oil and cooking oil are listed. Keep liquids in secure containers and ask staff where to unload them.
Electricals, metal and reusable streams
| Material | Listed status | Preparation tip |
|---|---|---|
| Large household electrical appliances | Accepted | Keep WEEE separate so staff can direct you immediately. |
| Small electrical appliances | Accepted | Toasters, irons, radios and CD players are specifically mentioned. |
| TVs and computer monitors | Accepted | Protect screens from breakage during transport. |
| Scrap metal | Accepted | Separate it from timber and mixed waste. |
| Clothes | Accepted | Keep clothing bagged and dry. |
| Mobile phones | Accepted | Remove personal data where possible before recycling. |
| Gas cylinders | Listed as accepted | Tell staff you have a cylinder before unloading it. |
| Compost | Listed | Ask staff which area to use before unloading. |
Unload faster: keep glass, cardboard, WEEE, batteries, oil, clothing, metal, timber and green waste in separate sections of the boot or trailer. Do not arrive with every item buried in one mixed pile.
Which Items Can Be Recycled Free at Derryclure?
Offaly County Council’s recent civic-amenity information states that charges apply to certain waste streams, but identifies waste electrical and electronic equipment, glass packaging and batteries as free categories.
Electricals / WEEE
Large and small household electrical items are part of the free WEEE recycling route where accepted.
Glass packaging
Bottles and jars should be separated by colour according to the current Derryclure guidance.
Batteries
Household and car batteries are listed at Derryclure. Keep them out of general household bins.
Free item does not mean the entire mixed load is free. If you arrive with free WEEE plus chargeable waste in the same vehicle, ask staff how the load will be assessed before unloading.
Derryclure Recycling Centre Charges in 2026
Offaly County Council confirms that charges apply to certain waste brought to its civic amenity sites. However, the current Oxigen Derryclure page does not publish a complete household gate-fee table.
Do not use an old Derryclure price list as a 2026 quote. Older council documents contain historic per-kilogram and transfer-area prices, but those figures are not treated as current in this guide.
Commercial green-waste charges currently shown by Oxigen
Oxigen’s live Derryclure page does publish commercial green-waste charges. These are specifically labelled for commercial customers and should not be assumed to be household prices.
| Commercial green-waste load | Published charge | Important distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Single-axle 4ft × 8ft trailer | €20 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
| Double-axle 4ft × 8ft trailer | €40 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
| Triple-axle 4ft × 12ft trailer | €60 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
| Small van | €30 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
| Medium van | €50 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
| Large LWB van | €80 + €2 gate fee | Commercial green waste. |
For a household load: phone 057 934 4186 and describe what is in the car, van or trailer. Ask which items are free, which are charged and whether the fee is per item, vehicle, weight or load.
Items to Check Before Bringing Them to Derryclure
The regular Oxigen accepted list is broad, but it should not be read as permission to bring every form of hazardous, demolition or commercial waste without checking first.
Paint and household chemicals
A separate free household hazardous-waste event at Derryclure in November 2025 accepted paints, cleaning chemicals and similar materials. That special event does not prove these items are accepted every normal opening day.
Clay and stones
Oxigen specifically says clay and stones should not be mixed into garden or green waste. Ask about the correct route before bringing rubble, soil or similar material.
Commercial material
The household recycling list is labelled for domestic householders. Commercial customers have separate charging information for some materials.
Large or unusual quantities
Even an accepted material can need different handling when brought in bulk. Phone before loading a large van or trailer.
Useful question to ask: “I have [item] from a household in [quantity]. Is it accepted at Derryclure today, is there a charge, and do I need to keep it separate?”
How to Prepare for a Derryclure Recycling Centre Visit
Check that your item is listed
Use the current Oxigen page for normal accepted household streams. If your item is missing, phone instead of assuming.
Check the current closing time
Because MyWaste and Oxigen currently differ slightly on Friday and Saturday, avoid arriving close to closing without confirming.
Sort the load before leaving home
Separate glass, electricals, batteries, cardboard, metal, timber, oils, textiles and green waste so you can unload into the correct stream.
Prepare items correctly
Keep cardboard clean and dry, remove frames from flat glass, remove fittings from timber and keep clay or stones out of green waste.
Ask about the charge before unloading
Free categories and chargeable categories can be in the same vehicle. Let site staff assess the load before you begin unloading.
Safer transport: keep oils upright and sealed, protect fluorescent tubes and screens from breaking, secure trailer loads and keep batteries away from loose metal objects.

If Derryclure Is Not the Right Drop-Off Point
Offaly County Council also maintains civic amenity provision at Birr and Edenderry. The correct site depends on where you live and the material you need to dispose of.
Find another nearby recycling point
Use the wider site finder if you need a bottle bank, WEEE drop-off, battery point or another civic amenity facility.
Understand centre types first
A bring bank is not the same as a full civic amenity facility. Use the national centre guide if you are unsure which type you need.
