How we price rubbish clearance →Rubbish removal in Tilbury: what to know
Tilbury grew up as a dock town beside the Port of Tilbury, and most of its housing is terraces and flats laid out between Calcutta Road, St Chad's Road and the railway. The port and the warehousing off the A1089 make it one of the main freight and logistics areas in Thurrock.
Tilbury grew with its docks from the late nineteenth century, and much of its housing is council-built: the urban district council formed in 1912 began a programme that ran through the 1920s, and the Broadway Estate followed in the 1960s. Residential streets including Adelaide Road, Toronto Road, Malta Road and Dock Road lie within controlled parking zones T1 to T4, which operate Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Before bulky furniture or garden waste is cleared, it helps to check whether a collection vehicle can stop outside during those hours.
Terraced streets with resident parking are routine: the truck stops in the road for a few minutes while it's loaded. Plenty of Tilbury jobs are only a handful of items and bags: for those, build your own collection and pay online. Bigger clear-outs with help on hand often go as wait and load.
The do-it-yourself route is Linford Household Waste and Recycling Centre. No booking is needed, but the site is for Thurrock residents only and proof of address is required; trade waste is refused. Small vans and single-axle trailers under 1.8m need a council permit (6 visits a year, or 2 for a hired vehicle), trailers are only admitted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and larger vehicles such as Ford Transits, Luton vans, tippers, flatbeds and minibuses are not allowed in. By the time you've sorted a slot, borrowed a vehicle and made two trips, a clearance has usually paid for itself.
- Charge
- £44.00 for either 1 item, 2 items or 3 items; a further £12.00 for each item in addition to the first 3; up to 8 items per booking.
- Leave items
- Left externally at the place where wheeled bins are usually collected, by 6am on the booked day; items left in a shared bin area must be labelled 'Bulky Waste' with the property number.
- Not taken
- No tonne or hippo bags; no commercial or business items (including commercial fridges and freezers); loose waste such as rubble or foliage must be bagged securely.

- From our yard
- Tilbury is 25 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 south to the A13 at Pitsea, A13 west, then the A1089 south to Tilbury, so same-day is realistic when you book before 11am.
- We cover
- Port of Tilbury, Tilbury Fort, London Cruise Terminal, Civic Square, Calcutta Road, Dock Road, St Chad's Road and Thurrock Park Way
- Access
- Mostly terraced houses and blocks of flats with limited off-street parking, so a skip commonly needs a road permit, and the A1089 dock approach carries heavy lorry traffic to the port.
- Council
- Thurrock Council · about 14,184 residents

Essex County Council centres such as Pitsea are restricted to residents of the Essex County Council area, so Thurrock households cannot use them.
