Wait & Load in Southminster: what to know
Southminster is a large village on the Dengie peninsula at the end of the Crouch Valley rail line, with a compact centre around the High Street and St Leonard's Church and open farmland on all sides. The nearest tip is at Burnham-on-Crouch, which opens four days a week and does not accept vans.
Building activity in Southminster is a mix of edge-of-town housing and small jobs on existing homes. A current proposal is for up to 249 dwellings on land north of Scotts Hill, with 30 per cent affordable housing, public open space and new highway works. Within the conservation area in the centre, demolition and some external alterations are controlled. The High Street, North Street and Station Road are the town's main streets, the last running to the railway terminus, so a skip is better placed off the highway wherever a plot allows.
On Southminster'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. 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.

Wait & Load in Southminster: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Southminster?
A skip stays while waste builds up and, on the public road in Southminster, 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 Southminster?
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.
