Reviewed by Daniel Hartley, Operations Director & licensed waste carrier · Last updated 2 August 2026
Rubbish Collection Medway started in 2011 with one van and a simple observation: most people who get stung by a rogue clearance never checked one thing — whether the person taking their rubbish was registered to do it. We built the business around making that check unnecessary, by putting our credentials, the paperwork and the recycling route in front of the customer before they book.
Today we run a fleet of caged and box vehicles out of Rochester, covering everything from a single mattress in Dartford to a full probate clearance in Folkestone. We have completed 38,000+ jobs and we still price the same way: a fixed figure agreed in writing before anything is loaded.
We are deliberately not the cheapest quote you will get. A price that undercuts the transfer station gate fee is a price that only works if the waste never reaches the transfer station — and that is your legal problem, not the carrier's.
