Epping is a market town at the end of the Central line, strung along a single High Street and hemmed in by Epping Forest and green belt. It has no recycling centre of its own: Waltham Abbey's is the closest but takes cars only and no DIY waste, so van loads and rubble have to go to Harlow.
Epping's housing ranges from cottages and Victorian villas to inter-war and post-war semi-detached houses and council-built homes. Hemnall Street was developed in the early nineteenth century, Station Road is a residential area beside the Underground terminus, and Coopersale, separated from the town by forest land, and Ivy Chimneys are residential areas in their own right. The High Street and Bell Common are conservation areas. Residents' permit parking operates in parts of the town, so a clearance vehicle may need a space arranged in advance.
The bag needs to be within about 4 metres of where the lorry can park, on your side of the wall. On the terraced streets there's rarely a drive to put a skip on and parking is tight, so the choice is a road licence or a one-visit collection.
Because the bag sits on your own land, there's no licence from Essex County Council to arrange. Tell us when it's full and we collect within five working days.
