What you need to know about Buckhurst Hill

Buckhurst Hill

Part of both London’s metropolitan area and the Greater London Urban Area, the town of Buckhurst Hill in the Epping Forest district of Essex lies directly north of the London Borough of Redbridge and its town centre sits roughly 16 km north-east of Charing Cross. Development of the surrounding area started in earnest following the opening of Buckhurst Hill station, which eventually became part of Eastern Counties Railway line, in the late 1850s. While expansion into Epping Forest was eventually discontinued, several residential areas in modern-day Buckhurst Hill still technically encroach upon the forest’s natural boundaries. Despite the town’s relatively small area, it still features a wide selection of dining establishments and pubs. Shopping needs are similarly well-addressed by several parades of shops and the main retail hub that is Queens Road. In addition to its own tube station, Buckhurst Hill’s transport options also include nearby Roding Hill station and a number of London Bus routes.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Buckhurst Hill?

Like most other districts in the surrounding area, Buckhurst Hill is slightly limited in its waste disposal options due to the distance between its town centre and even the nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC). Its addresses, however, are still served by the Epping Forest’s alternate weekly collections (AWC), and households and businesses in the area also have access to all the usual refuse disposal options offered by major waste management companies. Skip bags and bin clearance services, for example, are typically ideal for average households, while the larger skips and wait & loads, on the other hand, can be used by those who generate larger volumes of waste, such as commercial establishments. The use of grab lorries and RO-RO skips, on the other hand, is normally limited to muck away operations for building and construction rubbish.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Buckhurst Hill

For most addresses in Buckhurst Hill, the Kings Road Recycling Centre in Chingford is the nearest RRC. In similar fashion to most other civic amenity sites, appointments are required to drop off recycling, even for pedestrians and those arriving by bicycle. They accept most types of domestic recycling, including gas bottles but not hard plastics, tyres, or various forms of hazardous waste. Additionally, a Second Time Around shop is located on the recycling centre’s premises, making it easier to dispose of (or purchase) unwanted furniture, clothing, and other household items. The recycling facilities operate through the entire week, while the reuse store is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and every Sunday except the first of the month.

What rubbish collection services are available in Buckhurst Hill?

As most major licenced waste management companies provide services in Buckhurst Hill, households and businesses in the area have access to the wide range of collection options they offer. In addition to skip bag hiring and bin clearance, which are upgrades to the local authority’s weekly and bi-weekly collections, specialised full-service property clearance services are also available for a variety of needs, ranging from man & van-type operations to full-on skip or grab hiring. While making arrangements with private contractors does come at a price, they also come with several distinct advantages, such as more flexible and reliable service options, significantly fewer restrictions on the types of waste and recycling accepted, and better sustainability due to more materials being recycled.
