Waste oil collection in Chelmsford: what to know

Chelmsford's a steady patch for us: extensions in Old Moulsham, new-builds at Beaulieu Park, and ongoing commercial collections in the city centre.

The High Street is pedestrianised and hosts market stalls on several days a week, with the covered market, High Chelmer, The Meadows and Bond Street forming the retail core; Moulsham Street adds independent shops, pubs and cafes. Industrial occupiers are grouped at Widford Industrial Estate, Dukes Park Industrial Estate, Springfield Business Park and Bilton Road Industrial Estate, with retail warehouses at Chelmer Village Retail Park. Cardboard, glass and food waste predominate in the centre, and pallets, packaging and workshop waste on the estates. Vehicle access to the pedestrianised streets is restricted, which affects collections.

We collect from The Meadows Shopping Centre, Hylands Park and Beaulieu Park and everywhere else in CM1, CM2, CM3. Collections are usually within a couple of days of you calling.

Half an hour up the A130. We work Chelmsford weekly, so same-day wait and load and clearances are usually possible if you book before 11am. Item collections come on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, and skips, skip bags and the grab from the next working day.

Typical Chelmsford jobs. Office clearances in CM2, garden waste collections across the suburbs, builder's waste pickups on the new developments north of the city.
