Harlow is a post-war New Town laid out in neighbourhoods separated by green wedges, with a lot of terraced housing served by footpaths and garage courts, blocks of flats, and newer districts at Church Langley and Newhall. Industry and trade premises are concentrated at Templefields and the Pinnacles.
Harlow has major growth planned through the Harlow and Gilston Garden Town, which extends the town on several sides, alongside continued building at Newhall between Old Harlow and Church Langley. The town centre is being rebuilt in phases, with Broad Walk, Cross Street and East Walk repaved and Market Square redesigned. New town terraces are regularly extended and refitted. Ten conservation areas, including Old Harlow, Churchgate Street and Mark Hall North, bring tighter controls, and estates laid out around footpaths can make it hard to position a skip close to the property.
Flats and blocks rarely have anywhere to stand a skip. Bring the waste down ready and the truck loads at the kerb. Nothing is left on the road, so Essex County Council never needs to be involved and there's no 10 working days wait for a licence.

Wait & Load in Harlow: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Harlow?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Harlow, needs a licence from Essex County Council that takes 10 working days to come through. Wait and load is one visit: no permit and nothing left on the street. You load the truck, with our driver helping.
Who loads the truck on a wait and load in Harlow?
You and your helpers, with our driver lending a hand. The truck waits up to 15 minutes for a quarter load and 60 for a full truck, so have the waste ready before it arrives. If you'd rather we did the lifting, book a man and van collection instead, priced per item, or ask for a free rubbish clearance estimate.
Can you do wait and load in Harlow today?
Not usually the same day. Harlow is about 45 minutes from our yard in Wickford via the A127, M25 and M11 to junction 7, then A414, so we book Harlow jobs for the next working day and give you a two-hour arrival window by text.
