Waste oil collection 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.
We collect from Old Harlow, Church Langley and Potter Street and everywhere else in CM17, CM18, CM19, CM20. As Harlow is about 45 minutes from our Wickford yard, oil collections go onto a planned run, normally within the week.
