Commercial waste collection for Folkestone households and businesses
A regenerating harbour town with the Creative Quarter, Victorian terraces on the Leas and the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton.
Victorian terraces and large seafront houses converted into flats, with post-war estates at Cheriton and Morehall. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Steep streets between the Leas and the harbour restrict larger vehicles, and terraced conversions in CT19 generate frequent single-flat clearances.
Our crews reach Folkestone via M20 junctions 11-13, A20, A259 Sandgate Road, A260, and we work regularly across Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge, Morehall, Foord. Commercial waste collection is the scheduled or on-demand removal of waste produced by a business. Businesses cannot use household kerbside collections and must hold a written duty-of-care agreement with a registered carrier.
