Chipping Ongar is a small market town in the Epping Forest district built along a narrow High Street, with housing estates at Shelley to the north and Marden Ash to the south and farmland and rural lanes all around. There is no recycling centre in the town; the nearest is Brentwood's at Coxtie Green Road, about 6 miles away.
The Local Plan allocates housing sites around Ongar, including land west of Ongar for about 99 homes, guided by a concept framework, and Bowes Field for about 135, and an application has also come forward on land at Fyfield Road. Renovation of listed buildings in the High Street conservation area requires consent, and the narrow stretch of the High Street leaves no room for a skip on the carriageway. Post-war houses towards Shelley are typical candidates for extensions and loft conversions. Off-street space near the centre exists at The Pleasance car park and around Bansons Lane.
Out on the lanes around Chipping Ongar we send a truck that fits the farm tracks and village roads a skip lorry can't use. Nothing is left on the road, so Essex County Council never needs to be involved and there's no 10 working days wait for a licence.

Wait & Load in Chipping Ongar: your questions
What's the difference between wait and load and a skip in Chipping Ongar?
A skip stays for days and, on the road in Chipping Ongar, needs a licence from Essex County Council that takes 10 working days to come through. Wait and load is one visit: no permit and nothing left on the street. You load the truck, with our driver helping.
Who loads the truck on a wait and load in Chipping Ongar?
You and your helpers, with our driver lending a hand. The truck waits up to 15 minutes for a quarter load and 60 for a full truck, so have the waste ready before it arrives. If you'd rather we did the lifting, book a man and van collection instead, priced per item, or ask for a free rubbish clearance estimate.
