Garden waste for Folkestone households and landlords
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 run garden waste 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 work regularly across Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge, Morehall, Foord. Garden waste removal is the collection of green waste and landscaping arisings — grass, hedge trimmings, branches, turf, soil, fencing and decking — from a domestic or commercial garden, including the labour to carry it out.
Folkestone sits in the Folkestone & Hythe District Council area, so tip runs go to Folkestone Household Waste Recycling Centre, Ross Way and the council alternative is Folkestone & Hythe District Council provides a chargeable bulky waste collection service. We cover the town from our Rochester depot with no travel surcharge on CT18, CT19, CT20 jobs.
