How garden waste works in Hempstead (ME7)
A planned residential suburb of Gillingham built around Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre and Capstone Farm Country Park.
1970s and 1980s detached and link-detached family housing with garages and loft conversions. That housing mix shapes how we run garden waste here: Long-term family ownership in ME7 means loft, garage and shed clearances of accumulated household items rather than single-item collections.
Our crews reach Hempstead via A278 Hoath Way, Hempstead Road, M2 junction 4 and work regularly across Wigmore, Bredhurst, Capstone, Lidsing. 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.
Hempstead is one of our home-patch ME7 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Hempstead 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.
