Loughton is the most populous parish in the Epping Forest district, on the Central line, with Victorian and Edwardian houses on the hills around the High Road and the post-war Debden estate to the east. Trade and retail premises are concentrated along Langston Road and Oakwood Hill, and the nearest tip, at Chigwell, takes cars only and no DIY waste or rubble.
A major housing site in Loughton is the former college land on Borders Lane in Debden, which has permission for more than 400 homes in blocks of up to five storeys, and the 1950s shops and flats on The Broadway are being refurbished. Elsewhere, work consists largely of extensions, loft conversions and refits of Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war houses. In the York Hill, Staples Road and Baldwins Hill conservation areas the roads are hilly and planning controls are tighter, so skip lorries need careful routing and any skip placed on the highway must be licensed.
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 Loughton: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Loughton?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Loughton, 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 Loughton?
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 Loughton today?
