Wheelie bin collection for Canterbury households and businesses
A UNESCO World Heritage city with three universities, a walled centre closed to most vehicles and one of Kent's highest concentrations of student houses in multiple occupation.
Victorian terraces converted to student HMOs around Wincheap and St Dunstans, plus medieval and listed buildings within the city walls. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Student changeover in late June and September produces a huge spike in furniture and mattress disposal across CT1 and CT2, and city centre vehicle restrictions rule out skips entirely.
Our crews reach Canterbury via A2, A28 Sturry Road, A257, A290 Whitstable Road, and we work regularly across Wincheap, Hales Place, St Dunstans, Thanington, Sturry, Blean. Wheelie bin collection is a scheduled trade waste service where a business is supplied with lockable containers that are emptied on a fixed round, typically weekly or fortnightly, under a written duty-of-care agreement.
