E-Waste Disposal in Olney

Olney is a market town of 6,598 at the 2021 census, about eight miles from Milton Keynes and ten from both Bedford and Northampton. It is the furthest run we make, so we scope a job here properly and clear it in one visit rather than making repeat trips.

The building stock is the main constraint. The parish has one Grade I listed building — the Church of Saints Peter and Paul — four Grade II* and 114 Grade II listed structures, largely Georgian and medieval. Property of that age brings tall narrow staircases, doorways built centuries before modern furniture, and frontages straight onto the street.

Where a building is listed, nothing gets dragged across original floors or forced through a frame. Say so when you enquire and we will bring the right protection and allow the extra time rather than rushing it.

The town has held outdoor markets since 1205 and was a centre of the Buckinghamshire lace industry, noted in 1769 for its considerable manufacture of bone-lace. The pancake race has run on Shrove Tuesday since 1445, over 400 yards from the marketplace to the church — one day a year when the centre is best avoided entirely. The A509 bisects the town, with the M1 seven miles south.
