Wheelie bin collection for Chatham households and businesses
The commercial heart of the Medway Towns, with dense terraced streets on the Luton and Chatham Hill slopes and student housing around the Universities at Medway campus.
Steep terraced streets with no rear access, plus 1960s and 1970s estates at Walderslade and Princes Park. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Terraced streets on the Luton and Chatham Hill slopes rarely have space for a skip, so wait-and-load collections are the practical alternative here.
Our crews reach Chatham via M2 junctions 3-4, A2 Watling Street, A229 Chatham Hill, A230 Maidstone Road, and we work regularly across Luton, Walderslade, Wayfield, Brompton, Davis Estate, Princes Park. 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.
