WEEE & Appliances in Braintree
Electricals can't go in the bin. In Braintree we collect them from the front of the house or somewhere easy to reach (carrying out from inside is by the hour) and recycle them at licensed facilities.

Braintree, Bocking and the surrounding villages. Bigger rural gardens, post-renovation clearances and steady commercial work.
Braintree's housing spans several centuries. Bradford Street in Bocking is lined with timber-framed houses inside a conservation area, while Clockhouse Way and Cressing Road hold concrete-block houses designed in 1918 for workers at the town's metal window factory. Later estates such as Marks Farm, off Coggeshall Road, and the 1990s garden village at Great Notley generally have driveways or garages. Older streets near the centre offer little off-street space, so bulky items often have to be carried through the house to the kerb, whereas newer plots usually allow loading straight from the drive.
Braintree Recycling Centre accepts electricals. Every visit has to be booked in advance, cars included. Vans, pick-ups and trailers are accepted there with a booking. A small fridge in the back of the car is possible; a fridge-freezer or American-style unit usually isn't.
Villages and farm tracks around Braintree can be narrow, so we check the access on a map before we set off and bring the right size of vehicle.
We service Braintree on regular routes, so most jobs can be slotted into a planned run, which keeps prices keen.
