Grays is the largest town in Thurrock, with older terraced streets around the town centre and station, post-war housing at Stifford Clays and Little Thurrock, and modern estates at Chafford Hundred and Badgers Dene. Retail and trade premises run west towards Lakeside and West Thurrock.
Central Grays is built around late-Victorian terraced streets, notably the Clarence Road quarter east of the High Street, where parking is on-street and falls within controlled parking zones. North of the centre, Stifford Clays is a council-built estate of the 1950s and 1960s, while Chafford Hundred, begun in the late 1980s on former chalk quarries, mixes houses with flats. High-rise blocks stand on Argent Street near the river. In the terraces, bulky items and garden waste usually have to come out through the house; in the flats, everything depends on lifts and stairs.
The bag needs to be within about 4 metres of where the lorry can park, on your side of the wall. A lot of Grays is terraced streets with no driveways, so a skip has to sit on the road under licence, or the waste goes straight onto a truck instead.
Because the bag sits on your own land, there's no licence from Thurrock Council to arrange. Tell us when it's full and we collect within five working days.

- Grays is 30 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 south to the A13 at Pitsea, A13 west, then the A1089 and A1013 into Grays. We deliver bags from the next working day, and collect a filled bag within five working days of you telling us.

- Access
- Terraced streets around the town centre and station rely on on-street parking, so a skip there usually has to sit on the road under a Thurrock permit, while the estates at Stifford Clays, Chafford Hundred and Badgers Dene mostly have driveways or parking courts.

Nearest tip to Grays

- Open every day 8am to 4pm all year (gates shut 15 minutes before closing). Closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday; New Year's Eve 8am to 12 noon.
- Rules
- 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. Alternative: Linford is the only household waste site in Thurrock. Essex County Council centres such as Pitsea are restricted to residents of the Essex County Council area, so Thurrock households cannot use them.
