What makes bulky waste in Chatham different
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 run bulky waste 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 work regularly across Luton, Walderslade, Wayfield, Brompton, Davis Estate, Princes Park. Bulky waste is any household item too large for a wheelie bin — appliances, garden furniture, exercise equipment, sheds, hot tubs and large electricals — collected as individual items rather than as a full van load.
Chatham is one of our home-patch ME4, ME5 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Chatham bookings taken before 11am are usually collected the same day. Household waste in this area is handled by Medway Council (unitary authority), with tip runs going to Cuxton and Capstone Road household waste recycling centres and council bulky collections offered as Medway Council operates a chargeable bulky waste service with banded pricing by item count.
