Canvey Recycling Centre - Canvey Island

No hassle getting in thanks to having to pre book a slot. Handy place to get rid of your household rubbish.

This place is otherwise known as Canvey Tip and is the Castle Point recycling centre. From scrap white goods to garden waste and everything else in between, they take all sorts of household waste. This place is well organised and generally kept in good order, with the drive through periodically swept to keep the place tidy and prevent punctures, which used to be a common occurrence after a tip run. Considering the amount of waste that goes through this place daily, I've rarely noticed it being too smelly.
The only thing that puzzles me, is why I can't leave garden waste in the green waste bags the council supply, which we have to pay for and are supposed to be bio degradable? In good weather the tip is policed fanatically by the guys that work there in their high visibility vests and they'll make sure every scrap of waste is deposited in the correct container, when it's cold and raining they seem to disappear into their porta-cabin. Generally a good recycling centre and worth a 4 star rating. Please see my pictures. 👍🙂

Please Note; they do NOT take ceramics i.e. toilets, sinks etc. Hard core, or soil.

Well organised. You’ll have to book from 13th March I imagine it’s to reduce queues but also to limit the amount of visits.

Managed to get booked in same day. (week day) Was a bit of a queue on arrival, but ones parked inside, easy to see what type of waste goes in each bin and plenty of help on hand from the staff. I would recommend this tip!!!

Make online booking n then unload your rubbish 😊

I wonder how the online booking system is working. IMO it is another example of bureaucracy gone awry. Most people already knew when the peak times were or we’re prepared to queue for the convenience of just turning up. This trial systems seems to make the recycling centre less accessible to those who choose to or are unable to access the internet to book. Some people will consider it a breach of privacy having to produce ID. More importantly, this system must surely increase fly tipping!!!
