Man and van rubbish removal in Upminster: what to know
Upminster sits at the eastern edge of Greater London, with inter-war houses on generous plots around Hall Lane and Cranham and open green belt lanes towards Corbets Tey and North Ockendon. Gerpins Lane, the Havering reuse and recycling centre, is on the southern edge of the town.
Upminster is divided by the railway. To the north, the garden suburb begun in 1906 on the Upminster Hall estate was planned with houses on half-acre plots, along roads named 'Gardens'. South of the line are the shops and smaller houses, including the early streets of Gaynes, Champion and Branfill Roads and the later New Place estate. Cranham, to the east, was built up from the 1930s and had 615 council houses by 1971. Many homes have a drive and side access, so bulky items and garden waste can often be loaded without passing through the house.
Tell us about parking and loading restrictions near your Upminster address, and where the truck could legally stop. A photo of the road helps us plan the collection. The crew handles stairs, long carries and rear gardens; tell us about them when you book.
Our Environment Agency waste carrier registration is CB/DU308513. You receive a waste transfer note with the collection address, giving you a record of who collected the waste.
- Charge

- Leave items
- At the front boundary of the property or the communal bin area, at ground floor level, visible and accessible from the road, by 7am.
- Not taken
- Maximum height or length of items is 6 feet; residents only, not commercial waste; only items listed and paid for are taken; no refunds under any circumstances.
