Taking waste to the tip in Havering
Havering’s main recycling centre is Gerpins Lane in Upminster, run by the East London Waste Authority (ELWA). A booking is required for anyone using a van or trailer and for anyone bringing DIY waste in any vehicle. Bring a recent Council Tax statement or a driving licence registered to an address in Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Newham or Redbridge as proof of residence. Light commercial-type vehicles under 3,500kg and single axle trailers are permitted at Gerpins Lane, and you may be asked for the van’s V5C logbook to prove the weight, and be redirected to Jenkins Lane if it is over. Larger vans and twin axle trailers carrying household waste are accepted at Jenkins Lane and Frizlands Lane only. No Luton vans, flat bed vehicles, vans with tail lifts or tippers of any size are permitted at any site, and all vehicles are checked for restricted and commercial waste. The site is open 7.30am to 5.45pm daily, last entry 5.30pm. See the East London Waste Authority’s Gerpins Lane page. Checked against the East London Waste Authority’s own page on 24 October 2026. Rules change, so confirm on the official page before you travel.
Why many people book a carrier instead
Every van or trailer must book, DIY waste needs a booking even in a car, and some vans are banned outright. Many council sites limit or charge for DIY and building waste, and a small car means several dirty, heavy trips. A registered carrier loads it all in one visit. See rubbish removal, house clearance and builders’ waste removal.

Grab hire in Havering
Lots of jobs around Havering produce heavy, loose waste: footings, patios, new driveways and garden makeovers. A grab lorry clears it in one visit without hand loading, which is why builders and landscapers across Greater London prefer it to skips.
