Wheelie bin 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. 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.
