Fly-Tipping prices in Harlow
We send a free estimate from a photo of the pile, usually the same day, because dumped waste is rarely what it looks like from the road. Tyres and fridges are itemised. If there is more on the day than the photo shows, or access is harder, we agree any change with you before we start. Regular hotspots can be put on an agreed rate. Get a price.
How we price fly-tipping →Fly-Tipping in Harlow: what to know
Harlow is a post-war New Town laid out in neighbourhoods separated by green wedges, with a lot of terraced housing served by footpaths and garage courts, blocks of flats, and newer districts at Church Langley and Newhall. Industry and trade premises are concentrated at Templefields and the Pinnacles.
Harlow's town centre is a pedestrian precinct built around the Harvey Centre, Broad Walk, the Water Gardens and Market Square, with neighbourhood centres at The Stow, Bush Fair and Staple Tye. Retail warehouses line Edinburgh Way, including the Queensgate Centre. Industry is concentrated at Templefields and The Pinnacles, and the enterprise zone covers Kao Park and Harlow Science Park on London Road. Waste ranges from retail packaging and food to pallets, plastics and manufacturing offcuts. In the precincts, collections cannot be made from the shopfront and have to use service access.
Harlow Council clears fly-tipping from public land only. On private land the owner is responsible, and leaving it tends to attract more. Report it to the council so it's logged, then book the clearance.
On the industrial estates we can get the larger vehicles in, which keeps the price per tonne down for heavy or bulky loads. Send a photo of the pile and we send a free estimate the same day, with tyres and fridges itemised. If there's more there on the day than the photo showed, we agree any change with you before we start. We photograph it before anything is moved and keep whatever has a name or address on it for the enforcement officer.
