Laindon is the western part of Basildon, built up first as plotlands and then as New Town estates such as Five Links, where houses are arranged around pedestrian courtyards rather than roads. The old shopping centre is being redeveloped as Laindon Place, and employment is concentrated at Southfields Business Park and the Ford technical centre at Dunton.
The main scheme is the rebuilding of Laindon town centre on the site of the 1960s shopping centre beside the High Road: 224 homes, from one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses, with a supermarket, further shops and a medical centre. Earlier, the Five Links regeneration was planned to replace part of the courtyard estate with nearly 600 homes in three stages, and Dunton Fields was built in three phases. Where the original Five Links courtyards remain there is no road frontage, so a skip has to stand in a parking area, and deliveries need to allow for the walk in.
On Laindon's terraced streets there's rarely a drive to stand a skip on, which is the usual reason for booking wait and load: the truck stops in the road, you load it, and it goes. Nothing is left on the road, so Essex County Council never needs to be involved and there's no at least a week wait for a licence.

- Postcodes
- SS15, SS16
- From our yard
- Laindon is 15 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 south, then the A127 west to Laindon High Road, so same-day is realistic when you book before 11am.
- We cover
- Laindon station, Laindon Place (former Laindon Shopping Centre), Five Links estate, High Road, Southfields Business Park, Ford Dunton Technical Centre, Dunton Plotlands and St Nicholas Church
- Access
- Much of the New Town housing is terraced with parking in shared courts or garage blocks, and on the Five Links estate the houses face pedestrian courtyards, so waste often has to be carried to the nearest road; older roads off the High Road have driveways.

- Basildon Borough Council · about 13,654 residents

Wait & Load in Laindon: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Laindon?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Laindon, needs a licence from Essex County Council that takes at least a week 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 Laindon?
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 Laindon today?
Usually, yes. Laindon is 15 minutes from our yard in Wickford. Book online before 11am on a weekday and we aim for the same day; otherwise the next working day.
