Local collections across Gillingham

The largest of the Medway Towns by population, running from the riverside at Gillingham Pier out to the suburban estates of Hempstead and Wigmore.

Edwardian terraces near the station and large post-war and 1980s estates at Hempstead, Wigmore and Twydall. Medway Council's bulky waste rounds book up quickly in Gillingham, particularly after Christmas and at student changeover, so same-day collection demand peaks then.

We work regularly around Hempstead, Wigmore, Twydall, Parkwood, Brompton, Rainham Mark, and reference points like Priestfield Stadium, Riverside Country Park, Royal Engineers Museum help us find awkward addresses first time. Commercial work concentrates around Gillingham Business Park, Bailey Drive, Innovation Centre Medway and the Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre and Gillingham High Street retail areas.
