WEEE & Appliances in Witham

Witham expanded rapidly as a London overspill town from the 1960s, so most homes sit on planned estates either side of the railway, with industrial estates at Freebournes and Eastways and newer housing off Maltings Lane. The town's own recycling centre on Perry Road takes cars only, closes on Thursdays and does not accept DIY waste or rubble.
Witham has two historic cores: Chipping Hill, the Saxon settlement around St Nicolas' Church, and Newland Street, the high street, which lies in the Witham Town Centre Newland Street conservation area. Around them lie three large council estates built on the west and north sides for London overspill in the late 1960s and 1970s, including Templars off Cressing Road, with a smaller one to the south. Later housing includes the Maltings Lane estate of the early 2000s and Rivenhall Park off Forest Road. Access therefore differs between the older cores and the planned estates.
Witham Recycling Centre accepts electricals. Every car visit must be booked in advance (Blue Badge holders, pedestrians and cyclists are exempt). Cars only: vans, pick-ups and large trailers are not accepted, and the site does not take DIY waste or rubble. A small fridge in the back of the car is possible; a fridge-freezer or American-style unit usually isn't.
New-build estates have tight roads and little parking, so we send the smaller truck and keep the stop short.
