Wheelie bin collection for Canterbury businesses, sites and premises
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 run wheelie bin collection 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.
