Colchester is the largest settlement in north Essex, with narrow streets inside the Roman walls, Victorian terraces in New Town and around the Hythe, and large estates and new-build districts at Greenstead, Highwoods, Mile End and Stanway. Commercial premises are concentrated at Severalls Business Park, the Hythe and Tollgate.
Retail is focused on the High Street, the pedestrianised Culver Square and the Lion Walk shopping centre, where deliveries use service areas and on-street loading bays. To the west, Stanway's Tollgate area and Stane Retail Park hold large-format stores. Severalls Industrial Park, beside the A12 and A120 interchange, is the main industrial location, with further trade units on the Whitehall Industrial Estate about two miles south of the centre and along Cowdray Avenue. Between them these sites produce packaging, pallets, shop-fit strip-out and trade waste in quantity.
Terraced streets with resident parking leave nowhere for a skip. The truck stops in the road for its waiting time while the waste comes out through the front door. Every business must be able to show its waste went to a licensed carrier. Ours is CB/DU308513, and each Colchester collection comes with a transfer note.
