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.

The Place - multi-purpose leisure centre

The Place at Pitsea is now closed.

Basildon Borough Council is working with the NHS to create a new Community Diagnostic Centre in the heart of Pitsea on the site of The Place, Pitsea Leisure Centre. The new building will offer services including x-rays, phlebotomy ,CT scans and MRI machines. With plans to serve over 250,000 people annually, it aims to reduce waiting times and improve access to healthcare.

The new building will include a brand-new Community Facility including halls and rooms to hire for local groups and will become the new home for the Pitsea Activity Centre.  It will also replace the existing Pitsea Library with a new facility.


Your current activities have been relocated to alternative community locations:
