Stansted Mountfitchet is a large village in Uttlesford beside the M11 and Stansted Airport, with older terraces and cottages on the hills around Lower Street and Chapel Hill and newer estates such as Foresthall Park and Walpole Meadows. There is no Essex recycling centre in the village: the nearest are Saffron Walden (about 10 miles) and Harlow (about 13 miles).
Building in Stansted Mountfitchet has shifted to the north of the village, where around 420 further homes are being promoted along High Lane and beside Walpole Meadows, following the earlier Foresthall Park and Elms Farm schemes. The parish has about 140 listed buildings, two scheduled monuments and three protected lanes, so heritage checks are routine for renovation near Lower Street, Chapel Hill and Silver Street, where the older roads offer limited kerbside space for a skip. Houses on the 1950s to 1970s estates are a common setting for extensions and loft conversions.
Terraced streets with resident parking leave nowhere for a skip. The truck stops in the road for its waiting time while the waste comes out through the front door. 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 Stansted Mountfitchet: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Stansted Mountfitchet?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Stansted Mountfitchet, 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.

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.
