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.
Tilbury grew with its docks from the late nineteenth century, and much of its housing is council-built: the urban district council formed in 1912 began a programme that ran through the 1920s, and the Broadway Estate followed in the 1960s. Residential streets including Adelaide Road, Toronto Road, Malta Road and Dock Road lie within controlled parking zones T1 to T4, which operate Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Before bulky furniture or garden waste is cleared, it helps to check whether a collection vehicle can stop outside during those hours.
The bag needs to be within about 4 metres of where the lorry can park, on your side of the wall. On the terraced streets there's rarely a drive to put a skip on and parking is tight, so the choice is a road licence or a one-visit collection.
Because the bag sits on your own land, there's no licence from Thurrock Council to arrange. Tell us when it's full and we collect within five working days.

- 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. We deliver bags from the next working day, and collect a filled bag within five working days of you telling us.
- 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.
