Wait & Load in Hockley: what to know
We cover Hockley, Hawkwell and Hullbridge in SS5, including homes and building work off the B1013.
Rochford District's allocations plan identified land between Folly Lane and Church Road for at least 50 dwellings, and plans for 60 homes on the former Bullwood Hall prison site were submitted in 2015. In the centre, the Hockley Area Action Plan marked the Eldon Way estate for mixed-use redevelopment. Spa Road is the principal route through the village, and its mini-roundabout with Main Road, Southend Road and Woodlands Road is prone to queues. Main Road has very little parking or unloading space, so skip and lorry positions there need arranging in advance.
Out on the lanes around Hockley we send a truck that fits the farm tracks and village roads a skip lorry can't use. There is no skip left behind, so no skip permit to arrange. Tell us about any parking or loading restrictions so we can check where the truck will stop.
For long drives or waste at the back of a plot, tell us the distance and whether the surface is firm enough for a vehicle. Photos of gates and turning space help us assess access before quoting.

Wait & Load in Hockley: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Hockley?
A skip stays while waste builds up and, on the public road in Hockley, needs a permit from Essex County Council. Wait and load is for waste ready to collect: you load the truck with our driver's help during the waiting time you book. No skip is left behind, but the truck needs a legal place to stop.
Who loads the truck on a wait and load in Hockley?
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 Hockley today?
Same-day slots may be available. Hockley is 20 minutes from our yard in Wickford via the A129 and B1013; book before 11am on a weekday and check the available dates when you book.
