Ways to dispose of waste
There are responsible ways for residents to throw away unwanted goods, including large items. We offer weekly refuse and recycling collections, garden waste collection during the summer and a bulky waste collection service. The Chigwell Road tip accepts builders rubble, non-domestic waste, large items and green waste as well as recycling facilities.
If you plan to use a private company to dispose of your waste, you must ensure that they are legally authorised to do so and have a valid waste carriers licence.
