Waste oil collection in Tiptree: what to know
Tiptree is a large village in the Colchester district, home of the Wilkin & Sons jam factory, made up mostly of post-war estates and bungalows off Church Road, Maldon Road and Kelvedon Road. It has no recycling centre of its own: the nearest are Colchester's at Shrub End and Witham's on Perry Road, each roughly 7 miles away.
Tiptree has no traditional high street; Church Road acts as the commercial centre, with further shops at The Centre and short-stay parking at the supermarket. The jam factory is a long-established manufacturer and visitor attraction, and Tower Business Park on Kelvedon Road houses offices, a car dealer and small retailers. Workshop and industrial units also stand on Maldon Road. Typical waste includes retail packaging, food waste from cafés, and trade waste from workshops. Parking in the centre is limited, which affects where a collection vehicle can wait.
We collect from Church Road, Maldon Road and Kelvedon Road and everywhere else in CO5. As Tiptree is about 35 minutes from our Wickford yard, oil collections go onto a planned run, normally within the week.
