Bulky waste in Rochester, Medway

Bulky waste for Rochester households and landlords

A cathedral city on the Medway with a heavily conservation-controlled High Street, Georgian townhouses and the sprawling Medway City Estate across the river.

Listed Georgian and Victorian properties in the historic core with steep, narrow access, plus 20th-century housing at Borstal and Horsted. That housing mix shapes how we run bulky waste here: Conservation area restrictions on Rochester High Street make skip placement difficult and slow to permit, so attended loading is usually the only workable route.

Our crews reach Rochester via A2 High Street, M2 junction 2, A228, A289 Medway Tunnel and work regularly across Borstal, Wouldham Road, Delce, Horsted, Frindsbury. 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.

Rochester is one of our home-patch ME1, ME2, ME3 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Rochester 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.
