Wheelie bin collection for Gillingham households and businesses
The largest of the Medway Towns by population, running from the riverside at Gillingham Pier out to the suburban estates of Hempstead and Wigmore.
Edwardian terraces near the station and large post-war and 1980s estates at Hempstead, Wigmore and Twydall. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Medway Council's bulky waste rounds book up quickly in Gillingham, particularly after Christmas and at student changeover, so same-day collection demand peaks then.
Our crews reach Gillingham via A2, A278 Hoath Way, A289 Medway Tunnel approach, M2 junction 4, and we work regularly across Hempstead, Wigmore, Twydall, Parkwood, Brompton, Rainham Mark. 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.
