Disruption to bin collections in Epping Forest District

 We have received the following message from Epping Forest District Council and share it with you:

Staff shortages due to coronavirus at our waste contractor Biffa may mean disruption to some residents normal recycling and rubbish collections.


We are working extremely hard to ensure that the service continues as close to normal as possible.

Prioritising recycling and black bin collection

We are prioritising recycling and black refuse bin collections over green-lidded food and garden bin collections. If your food and garden bin is not collected please take it in until your next scheduled collection day.

In Epping and North Weald on Wednesday we were unable to collect all the recycling. If your collection was missed please leave your recycling sacks on the boundary as normal and we will collect them as soon as we can. Make sure they are secure so your recycling does not litter the road as we are unable to clear spillages at the present time.

Cardboard boxes should be flattened and left under your recycling bags so they don’t blow away, or placed inside the bags if they are small.

Recycling Christmas trees

Real Christmas trees are being recycled throughout January. Leave it with your green-lidded garden and food waste bin. If it’s over 6 foot, cut in half and remove the pot and all decorations.

Recycling and rubbish collections

It is difficult to predict how recycling and rubbish collections will be affected in the next few weeks. We will continue to monitor the situation very closely along with Biffa.

Residents can find the latest information on our website and on social media.

Keep up to date

Keep in touch with our latest news, service updates and reports.

At the end of our journey local history buffs congregated under the Dickens Oak. Please join our rapidly growing community facebook page   (click here) On Saturday 5th December 10 people from Chigwell and the surrounding area travelled across the various sites in Chigwell Row and Chigwell Village that had a connection to the world famous author Charles Dickens.  Initially people met just behind the car park of the Maypole pub The tour began at the Dido Oak in Hainault Forest accessible via Sylvan Way.  This is a veteran oak (old but not quite ancient a list of definitions can be found here ) that was once made famous in Tatler Magazine back in 1903, due to an article about the Hermit of Hainault, a man named William Bell otherwise known as Dido who once lived in the forest under the cover of some sackcloth.  In his pocket he carried herbal roots, snakes, newts and anything else he could make money form.  Apparently he used to say: 'They call me Doctor Bell, Because I make my patien
