What is a wait and load service?

Wait and load is a skip alternative — our truck pulls up outside your property, waits while it's loaded (by you or by us), and drives away with the waste. Typical on-site time is 30–60 minutes and no skip permit is required.

Do I need a permit for wait and load in Essex?

No. Because the truck is parked rather than left on the road, no skip permit is needed in Essex. That's why wait and load works so well in conservation areas, narrow streets and residents' parking zones.

How much does a wait and load service cost?

Wait and load in Essex is priced by the volume of waste, not the size of the truck. Prices start from £150 for a quarter load up to £550 for a full load. The wait time is included.

Is EDW a licensed waste carrier?

Yes — Essex District Waste Removal is fully licensed and registered with the Environment Agency (Waste Carrier's Licence CBDU632993). Every load is taken to a licensed transfer station and you'll receive a waste transfer note for your records.

How quickly can you collect my rubbish in Essex?

We offer same-day and next-day collections across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Chelmsford, Basildon, Brentwood and surrounding areas. Booking by 11am usually means we can clear your waste the same day.
