Newline Household Recycling Centre in Lurgan will close for three weeks from Monday 9th February to Saturday 28 February 2026 to facilitate major resurfacing works.
While residents are being advised to avail of alternative recycling centres in the borough, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon (ABC) Borough Council are urging residents to plan ahead and consider using the Newline recycling centre before the temporary closure, or waiting until the facility reopens once works are completed.
It is anticipated that Newline Household Recycling Centre will reopen to the public on Monday 2nd March.
A spokesperson for ABC Council said: “This resurfacing work at Newline Household Recycling Centre is very important for the health and safety of all users to this busy site.
“We understand that these works will cause some inconvenience and disruption and to help minimise this, we are asking users to consider if they can plan ahead or wait until work is complete, to avoid delays at our other recycling centres which are very busy at this time of year.”
They added: “Household Recycling Centres are an integral component of the Council waste management infrastructure, providing opportunities for recycling, reuse and waste disposal and the resurfacing of Newline is essential regarding the maintenance of these facilities.”
During the temporary closure no waste should be left outside the facility and CCTV will be in operation in the area along with increased enforcements patrols. Any waste deposited will be treated as fly-tipping and offenders will be subject to a £400 Fixed Penalty fine.
