Fly-Tipping prices in Tilbury
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 Tilbury: what to know
Tilbury grew up as a dock town beside the Port of Tilbury, and most of its housing is terraces and flats laid out between Calcutta Road, St Chad's Road and the railway. The port and the warehousing off the A1089 make it one of the main freight and logistics areas in Thurrock.
The Port of Tilbury shapes local commerce, handling containers, timber, paper, cars and bulk cargo, with the Tilbury2 terminal, the London Cruise Terminal and the warehouses of London Distribution Park and Thurrock Park Way close by. These sites generate pallets, packaging, strapping and damaged stock. In the town, the central shopping area takes in Civic Square, Calcutta Road and Montreal Road, a second group of shops and cafes lines Dock Road beside Tilbury Town station, and parades stand on St Chad's Road. Traders are mostly independents, producing cardboard, food waste and shopfitting debris.
Thurrock 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.
On the industrial estates we can get the larger vehicles in, which keeps the price per tonne down for heavy or bulky loads. 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 across Tilbury
- Postcodes
- RM18
- From our yard
- Tilbury is 25 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 south to the A13 at Pitsea, A13 west, then the A1089 south to Tilbury, so same-day is realistic when you book before 11am.
- We cover
- Port of Tilbury, Tilbury Fort, London Cruise Terminal, Civic Square, Calcutta Road, Dock Road, St Chad's Road and Thurrock Park Way
- Access
- Mostly terraced houses and blocks of flats with limited off-street parking, so a skip commonly needs a road permit, and the A1089 dock approach carries heavy lorry traffic to the port.
- Council
- Thurrock Council · about 14,184 residents
Nearest tip to Tilbury
- Site
- Linford Household Waste and Recycling Centre, Buckingham Hill Road, Linford, SS17 0PP
- Hours
- Open every day 8am to 4pm all year (gates shut 15 minutes before closing). Closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday; New Year's Eve 8am to 12 noon.
- Rules
- No booking is needed, but the site is for Thurrock residents only and proof of address is required; trade waste is refused. Small vans and single-axle trailers under 1.8m need a council permit (6 visits a year, or 2 for a hired vehicle), trailers are only admitted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and larger vehicles such as Ford Transits, Luton vans, tippers, flatbeds and minibuses are not allowed in. Alternative: Linford is the only household waste site in Thurrock. Essex County Council centres such as Pitsea are restricted to residents of the Essex County Council area, so Thurrock households cannot use them.
Fly-Tipping in Tilbury: your questions
Will the council clear fly-tipping from my land in Tilbury?
Not from private land. Thurrock Council removes it from public roads and land; on private property the owner has to clear it lawfully, using a licensed carrier.
How quickly can you clear a fly-tip in Tilbury?
Most days, the same day. Tilbury is 25 minutes from our yard in Wickford via the A132 south to the A13 at Pitsea, A13 west, then the A1089 south to Tilbury, so a booking made before 11am normally gets a same-day slot, and anything later goes first thing the next working day.
