Waste oil collection in Chelmsford: what to know
We cover Chelmsford's CM1, CM2 and CM3 areas, including Old Moulsham, Beaulieu Park and city-centre homes and businesses.
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.
Ask about same-day wait and load or clearance availability before 11am. Item collections run on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds; skips, skip bags and the grab are available from the next working day.
