Garage Clearance in Colchester: what to know

Colchester is the largest settlement in north Essex, with narrow streets inside the Roman walls, Victorian terraces in New Town and around the Hythe, and large estates and new-build districts at Greenstead, Highwoods, Mile End and Stanway. Commercial premises are concentrated at Severalls Business Park, the Hythe and Tollgate.

Colchester's housing ranges from the Dutch Quarter, with old houses on West Stockwell Street, East Stockwell Street and Maidenburgh Street just north of the High Street, to the New Town estate of about 470 houses built from the 1880s, now a conservation area. Greenstead is a large post-war estate of houses and flats, Highwoods was built in the early 1980s, and Lexden has its own village conservation area. Flats in Greenstead and the riverside blocks at the Hythe mean carrying items down stairs, while the terraced streets of New Town rely on kerbside space rather than driveways.

Terraced streets with resident parking are routine: the truck stops in the road for a few minutes while it's loaded. Paint, tyres and old fridges get their own lines in the estimate because each goes to a different licensed facility.

Taking it yourself means Colchester Recycling Centre. Every visit must be booked in advance (Blue Badge holders, pedestrians and cyclists are exempt). Vans, pick-ups and large trailers are accepted with a separate van booking, and limited amounts of DIY waste from your own home are accepted. Most garages are several car loads, which is where one collection wins.

Typical Colchester jobs. House and flat clearances in terraced streets with permit parking; builders' and renovation waste from extensions on the suburban estates; office, shop and unit clearances at Severalls, the Hythe and Tollgate.
