Properties on a Friday week 1 Waste and Recycling collection incorrectly showing a non-recycling collection due today 19th April 2025.

We are aware of an error impacting Friday week 1 waste collections, which meant some properties showed a non-recycling waste collection due today, 19th April, on Where I Live and the Our Street App, ahead of weekly collections starting from 28th April. This collection was showing in error and the issue which caused this has now been resolved. As per the fortnightly week 1 waste collection still active, your next collection was due Saturday 26th April, and weekly thereafter. Please therefore take your black wheelie bin back in and represent this on your next collection date. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this error may have caused.

Licence - Street Trading

Street Trading is defined as the selling or offering for sale of any article in the street. This includes food such as burgers, kebabs, doughnuts etc. or other things such as household items.

At present Basildon Council has not yet designated any streets in which street trading is prohibited or where a licence or consent from the Council is required.

This does not mean that anyone is free to carry out street trading wherever they choose as:

  • You will need a Street Pedlar licence issued by the local police
  • You will need the permission from the landlord / landowner on whose land you wish to trade.

If you want permission to enter Basildon Town Centre and St Martin's Square for the purposes of holding an event or promotion or to have vehicular access then you must submit an application to:
