Waste oil collection in Ilford: what to know
Ilford is Redbridge's main town centre, with high-rise flats and offices around the High Road and dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces running out towards Seven Kings and Goodmayes. On-street space is tight, and a skip placed in a parking bay needs a paid bay suspension as well as a Redbridge skip licence.
Retail is focused on the High Road and The Exchange shopping centre, which opened in 1991, with further shops along Cranbrook Road and Ilford Lane. Gants Hill, around its five-road roundabout on Eastern Avenue, has restaurants, bars and a hotel. The Spark Ilford project around Redbridge Town Hall and Oakfield Road is adding cultural, enterprise and food uses. Waste is dominated by retail packaging, food and glass from restaurants and takeaways, and fit-out waste as units change. No stopping is permitted on the red-route A12, and loading in the town centre depends on service yards and signed time limits.
We collect from Ilford High Road, Valentines Park and Newbury Park and everywhere else in IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6. As Ilford is about 45 minutes from our Wickford yard, oil collections go onto a planned run, normally within the week.
