Where is the nearest tip to Folkestone?

Accepted Answer

Folkestone Household Waste Recycling Centre, Ross Way, operated by Kent County Council for Folkestone & Hythe residents. Vans, pick-ups and trailers require a permit booked in advance.

Question 4

Can you park and load in Folkestone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Steep streets between the Leas and the harbour restrict larger vehicles, and terraced conversions in CT19 generate frequent single-flat clearances. Tell us about narrow access, permit bays or rear alleys when booking and we allocate the right vehicle and crew size.

Do you work with Folkestone businesses as well as households?

Yes. We run trade collections, office clearances and scheduled bins across Folkestone, including the Shearway Business Park, Park Farm Industrial Estate, Lympne Industrial Estate area, on 30-day invoiced accounts.

Question 6

What load sizes and prices do you offer in Folkestone?

Four fixed van-load bands, all inclusive of labour, transport and licensed disposal: a quarter load is 3 cubic yards at £140, a half load 6 cubic yards at £210, a three-quarter load 9 cubic yards at £290 and a full load 12 cubic yards at £400 — roughly the volume of a 6-yard skip. Smaller single items start at £70 and we price larger clearances in Folkestone as multiple loads.

Question 7

How do I work out which van load size I need in Folkestone?

Accepted Answer

Count in bin bags and bulky items. Roughly 30 bin bags fill a 3-cubic-yard quarter load (£140), 60 bags a 6-cubic-yard half load (£210), 90 bags a 9-cubic-yard three-quarter load (£290) and 120 bags a 12-cubic-yard full load (£400), which is about the volume of a 6-yard skip or eight 240-litre wheelie bins. A three-piece suite or a small bedroom clear-out is usually a quarter to half load. Send photos and we size it for you before we travel to Folkestone.

What is included in the price in Folkestone?

Accepted Answer

Every load price — £140 for 3 cubic yards, £210 for 6, £290 for 9 and £400 for a full 12-cubic-yard load — includes a two-person crew who carry everything out, all loading and lifting from anywhere in the property or garden, transport, transfer-station gate fees, a sweep-up afterwards and your waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours.

Book before 11am and same-day collection is usually available in Folkestone, otherwise next working day including Saturdays, with a two-hour arrival window and a call when the crew is en route. We collect Monday to Friday 7am–7pm, Saturday 7am–5pm and Sunday 9am–4pm.
