Maghera and Coalisland centres will operate from Monday to Saturday 8.30am-5.30pm and Tullyvar will operate from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 8.30am-1.30pm.

Drivers will not be allowed to bring trailers to the centres, the council has said.

Cookstown, Drumcoo and Magherafelt recycling trailers do accept trailers.

Council chair, SDLP councillor Martin Kearney said users must stick to social distancing regulations.

"The latest re-openings will mean that the district’s five main towns, together with the Clogher Valley, will once again be serviced by recycling centres," he said.
