A tip in south Essex has been shut after a "medical incident".
UPDATE 3pm: The tip has now been reopened.
The Linford Household Waste and Recycling Centre, in Orsett, has been closed this afternoon by Thurrock Council.
Staff at the Buckingham Hill Road site have given a man first aid and an ambulance has been called.
Until they receive medical help the site will need to remain closed.
The tip is closed until further notice, but a council spokesman says it will be re-opened "as soon as possible".
