Upminster sits at the eastern edge of Greater London, with inter-war houses on generous plots around Hall Lane and Cranham and open green belt lanes towards Corbets Tey and North Ockendon. Gerpins Lane, the Havering reuse and recycling centre, is on the southern edge of the town.
Building work here is largely domestic: loft conversions, side and rear extensions, and remodelling of the larger houses north of the station. Corbets Tey Conservation Area, designated in 1990, covers one of the three medieval settlements that formed Upminster. Cranham Conservation Area has an Article 4 Direction, so gates, walls and fences there need planning permission. Station Road, St Mary's Lane and Corbets Tey Road form the shopping area, so a skip is better placed on a drive than on those roads. The A127 is a red route, and the M25 is about 1.5 miles east.
Parking in Upminster is mostly permit bays and yellow lines, so a skip would need a bay suspended as well as the borough licence. A truck that is loaded and gone inside its waiting time needs neither. Nothing is left on the road, so Havering Council never needs to be involved and there's no at least a week wait for a licence.

Wait & Load in Upminster: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Upminster?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Upminster, needs a licence from Havering 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 Upminster?
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 Upminster today?
