Fly-Tipping prices in Epping
We send a free estimate from a photo of the pile, usually the same day, because dumped waste is rarely what it looks like from the road. Tyres and fridges are itemised. If there is more on the day than the photo shows, or access is harder, we agree any change with you before we start. Regular hotspots can be put on an agreed rate. Get a price.
How we price fly-tipping →Fly-Tipping in Epping: what to know
Epping is a market town at the end of the Central line, strung along a single High Street and hemmed in by Epping Forest and green belt. It has no recycling centre of its own: Waltham Abbey's is the closest but takes cars only and no DIY waste, so van loads and rubble have to go to Harlow.
Epping High Street, the B1393, carries the town's shops, pubs and restaurants, and a market dating from 1253 is held there every Monday. Bower Hill Industrial Estate provides workshop and trade units, and the Cottis Lane and Bakers Lane sites behind the High Street are being redeveloped with new commercial space. Hospitality businesses generate food waste, glass and cardboard, while the industrial estate produces trade and packaging waste. The High Street is a through route within a conservation area, so loading has to fit around traffic, parking bays and market stalls.
Epping Forest District Council clears fly-tipping from public land only. On private land the owner is responsible, and leaving it tends to attract more. Report it to the council so it's logged, then book the clearance.
For shops and offices in the centre we collect before opening, because loading bays are restricted through the day. Send a photo of the pile and we send a free estimate the same day, with tyres and fridges itemised. If there's more there on the day than the photo showed, we agree any change with you before we start. We photograph it before anything is moved and keep whatever has a name or address on it for the enforcement officer.

Fly-Tipping in Epping: your questions
Will the council clear fly-tipping from my land in Epping?
Not from private land. Epping Forest District Council removes it from public roads and land; on private property the owner has to clear it lawfully, using a licensed carrier.

Normally the next working day. Epping is a 45-minute run from our yard via the A127, M25 and M11 to junction 7, then B1393, so we put Epping jobs onto a booked run and text you the arrival window.
