We carry it out from wherever it sits, load it ourselves and take it away in our van from Theydon Bois, so none of it has to go in your car.
The tip in town
Chigwell has its own Essex County Council recycling centre on Luxborough Lane, IG7 5AA. That sounds like the easy answer until the load is bigger than a car boot. As published on 15 October 2026, the site does not accept bookings for vans, pick ups or large trailers, so a hired or borrowed van is no use there.
Essex County Council sets a few more rules for its recycling centres, also as published on 15 October 2026, that are worth knowing before you plan a run of car trips:
If a few bags and a chair fit in your car, the tip costs you nothing and we would tell you so. We come in when the load is too big, too heavy or too awkward for that.
What we clear in IG7
Send a photo through the quote form and we will come back to you with a price for the whole lot.
Wardrobes, bed frames and a dining set. If it would take 4 or 5 booked visits to Luxborough Lane, 1 van trip is simpler.
Whole rooms emptied before a sale or a move, with the boxes, the furniture and the bits nobody wants to sort.
We bring down what has built up in the loft and clear the garage floor, loading it straight onto the van.
Rotten benches, cracked pots, bagged cuttings and the panels from a fence that came down in the wind.
Fridges, washing machines and old televisions go on the van with everything else. See our electrical waste disposal page.
The Chigwell site takes household waste only. If it came from your business, we collect it as a separate job.
A worked example
Here is how that kind of job would run in IG7. Picture a house being emptied before it goes on the market: 2 wardrobes, a dining table with 6 chairs, a sofa bed, about 20 boxes and a garage of odds and ends.
In a hatchback, that is a run of trips to Luxborough Lane, each booked separately and each limited to what fits behind the seats. The wardrobes probably will not fit at all.
With us it is 1 visit. You send photos of each room, we price the whole lot, and on the day we carry everything out, sweep the floors we have cleared and drive the load away.
On the day
Photos, a short video or a list. Mention stairs, a long garden or anything very heavy so the price allows for it.
We price the job from what you send and confirm a day that works for you.
We carry everything out ourselves, taking care not to cause damage to doors, walls or floors on the way.
The space we emptied is swept and left clean, and the van drives the load away.
Pricing
There is no rate card on this site. Every load is different, so we look at what you send and give you a price for that job.
Our page on how a price is built explains each of these in more detail and sets the council's own charges alongside, so you can see which route suits your job.
Your duty
Whoever collects your household rubbish, the law puts a duty on you as well. Under section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, a householder must take reasonable steps to check that anyone other than the council who takes their waste is authorised to carry it. The simplest check is the Environment Agency public register of waste carriers, which anyone can search by name. Search for CBDU525129 and you will find us.
This is not a technicality in Chigwell. Epping Forest District Council reported on 9 December 2025 that a Brook Parade resident was given a £300 penalty notice for breaching that duty, after saying they had paid someone to remove items but being unable to show any evidence.
So ask for a name you can look up, and keep the message or invoice that shows who took your rubbish. If you run a business, you also need a waste transfer note for each load that leaves your premises.
Nearby and related
We drive over from Theydon Bois, so Chigwell, Grange Hill and the roads near the M11 at Roding Road all sit inside the area we cover.
Questions
No. As published by Essex County Council on 15 October 2026, the Luxborough Lane site does not accept bookings for vans, pick ups or large trailers. Cars can book a free slot for each visit.
Yes. Grange Hill station sits within Chigwell parish, and we collect from homes all around it as well as the rest of IG7.
Yes. We do the lifting and the loading, from upstairs rooms, lofts, garages and back gardens. Tell us about any stairs when you send your photos.
Send photos through the free quote page. We look at the volume, the weight and the access, then come back to you with a price for the whole job.
For a few large items, often yes. Epping Forest District Council's special collection, as published on 15 October 2026, takes up to 10 items in 6 months and charges £34.80 for 1 to 3 items. It refuses garden waste, building waste and carpets, and cannot be used for clearances.
You can be held responsible if you did not check who took it. Epping Forest District Council has issued penalties in Chigwell more than once, including a £400 fixed penalty notice to a construction company director on 10 February 2026 after waste was dumped at Copperfield.
