The Recycling Centre, Ferrers Road, CM3 5ZA

The Recycling Centre in Ferrers Road, on the west side of the town adjoining the nature reserve/fenn is a purpose-built collection point for all kinds of domestic waste. It has groups of large skips where residents can deposit old furniture, unwanted metal items, card, oil, old paint etc.

The rules about what can be dumped change from time to time. What is useful to know is that the rules at recycling centres in different nearby towns are different, so that if the South Woodham Ferrers centre refuses hard core, a Maldon or Rayleigh one might. A bookings system will be trialed soon. Residents will have to go online to book a slot before turning up at the recycling centre.
