Mattress & Sofa in South Ockendon: what to know
South Ockendon sits just outside the M25 on the western edge of Thurrock and is dominated by large post-war estates, including the Flowers Estate built by the Greater London Council, with newer housing at Brandon Groves on the old hospital site and on the former Ford factory site off Arisdale Avenue.
South Ockendon grew from a village around The Green into a large post-war settlement. Prefabs of the late 1940s gave way to the Flowers Estate, built by the Greater London Council in the late 1960s as concrete-panel terraces in rows of eight. Brandon Groves followed after 1994 on the former hospital site, and newer homes occupy the old car-plant land off Arisdale Avenue. Mid-terrace houses have no side access, so garden waste and bulky items come through the house, and a weekday permit parking area covers closes such as Celandine Close and Tamarisk Road.
If there is no driveway or the street has residents' parking, send a photo of the access so we can plan where to load. Dismantling a sofa or bed that won't come out in one piece is £30 an item.
- Charge
- £44.00 for either 1 item, 2 items or 3 items; a further £12.00 for each item in addition to the first 3; up to 8 items per booking.
- Leave items
- Left externally at the place where wheeled bins are usually collected, by 6am on the booked day; items left in a shared bin area must be labelled 'Bulky Waste' with the property number.
- Not taken
- No tonne or hippo bags; no commercial or business items (including commercial fridges and freezers); loose waste such as rubble or foliage must be bagged securely.

- From our yard
- South Ockendon is 30 minutes from our Wickford yard via the A132 south to the A13 at Pitsea, A13 west, then the B1335 Stifford Road. Item collections here run on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, booked by 4pm the working day before.
- We cover
- Derwent Parade, Flowers Estate, Brandon Groves, Belhus, Ockendon station, Arisdale Avenue, South Road and The Green and St Nicholas Church
- Access
- The post-war estates are mainly terraces and low-rise flats, many with shared parking areas and garage blocks rather than private drives, so skip position and vehicle access need checking street by street; the newer developments have allocated bays and tighter estate roads.

- Thurrock Council · about 22,440 residents
Nearest tip to South Ockendon
- 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 and is on the far side of the borough from South Ockendon (roughly 8 miles by road). Essex County Council centres are restricted to residents of the Essex County Council area, so Thurrock households cannot use them.
