Barking has Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, large estates such as Gascoigne and Thames View, and a growing number of new flats at Barking Riverside. Industrial land runs along River Road and the River Roding, and the Jenkins Lane reuse and recycling centre sits just off the A13.
Victorian Barking was built as continuous terraces of two-storey houses with bay windows, small front enclosures and back yards, a pattern still found near the town centre. The Becontree Estate extends into the east of the town. Thames View, built in 1954-60 south of the A13, has about 2,000 homes in terraces, flats and maisonettes around Bastable Avenue. Barking Riverside, on former power station land, has permission for 10,800 homes. Terraces without side access, and flats reached by stairs or lifts, make carrying distance and parking the main practical points when clearing a home.
The bag needs to be within about 4 metres of where the lorry can park, on your side of the wall. Much of Barking is in a controlled parking zone, so a skip on the road usually needs a parking bay suspended as well as the borough licence. Loading straight onto a waiting truck avoids both.
Because the bag sits on your own land, there's no licence from Barking and Dagenham Council to arrange. Tell us when it's full and we collect within five working days.
