Southend began as a few fishermen's huts and a farm at the south end of the village of Prittlewell. The railway from London arrived in 1856 and brought crowds of day-trippers from the east of the capital, and in 2022 the town was made a city. When the tide is out, mudflats stretch a long way from the shore into the Thames Estuary.

Sea air for stuffy cupboards

Leigh-on-Sea flat, Eastwood bungalow or Shoeburyness shed, the routine is the same. Post the job for free and licensed, insured local carriers send you quotes. You pay once your waste has been collected, and every job comes with a waste transfer note, kept in your account.

Making waves

20% of what we earn on every job goes to good causes in your local area. Along this stretch of the estuary, think of Havens Hospices, which cares for children and adults with incurable conditions, Southend in Sight, which offers friendly support to people with sight loss, or Metal, which makes space for artists at Chalkwell Hall: the kind of local causes the programme is for.
