WEEE & Appliances in Upminster

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.
Upminster is divided by the railway. To the north, the garden suburb begun in 1906 on the Upminster Hall estate was planned with houses on half-acre plots, along roads named 'Gardens'. South of the line are the shops and smaller houses, including the early streets of Gaynes, Champion and Branfill Roads and the later New Place estate. Cranham, to the east, was built up from the 1930s and had 615 council houses by 1971. Many homes have a drive and side access, so bulky items and garden waste can often be loaded without passing through the house.
Gerpins Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre accepts electricals. Free for residents of Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Redbridge who show a current council tax bill or driving licence. Cars with ordinary household waste need no booking, but vans under 3,500kg, trailers and any DIY or renovation waste must be booked in advance, and Luton vans, tippers, flatbeds and tail-lift vans are refused. A small fridge in the back of the car is possible; a fridge-freezer or American-style unit usually isn't.
Parking in Upminster is mostly permit bays and yellow lines, so the truck stops for loading only and the crew works fast; tell us where the nearest legal stop is when you book.
