Question 1

Do you cover all of Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We collect from every DA3 street, including Longfield Hill, Hartley, Fawkham, and reach the town via A2 nearby.

Question 2

How much does same-day rubbish collection cost in Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Same-day rubbish collection in Longfield starts at £70. The final price is fixed before we load and depends on volume and access — a quarter van load is £140, a half load £210, three-quarters £290 and a full 12-cubic-yard load £400, all inclusive of labour and disposal.

Question 3

Is this cheaper than Dartford Borough Council's bulky waste collection?

Accepted Answer

Dartford Borough Council offers Dartford Borough Council provides bulky item collections at a fixed rate for up to five items., which is cheaper per item but requires you to move everything to the kerbside and wait for the scheduled date. We collect from inside the property, usually same or next day, and provide a waste transfer note.

Question 4

Will I get proof of legal disposal in Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Longfield collection comes with a waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours, showing our upper-tier carrier registration, the waste description and the permitted site that received the load.

Question 5

What load sizes and prices do you offer in Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Four fixed van-load bands, all inclusive of labour, transport and licensed disposal: a quarter load is 3 cubic yards at £140, a half load 6 cubic yards at £210, a three-quarter load 9 cubic yards at £290 and a full load 12 cubic yards at £400 — roughly the volume of a 6-yard skip. Smaller single items start at £70 and we price larger clearances in Longfield as multiple loads.

Question 6

How do I work out which van load size I need in Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Count in bin bags and bulky items. Roughly 30 bin bags fill a 3-cubic-yard quarter load (£140), 60 bags a 6-cubic-yard half load (£210), 90 bags a 9-cubic-yard three-quarter load (£290) and 120 bags a 12-cubic-yard full load (£400), which is about the volume of a 6-yard skip or eight 240-litre wheelie bins. A three-piece suite or a small bedroom clear-out is usually a quarter to half load. Send photos and we size it for you before we travel to Longfield.

Question 7

What is included in the price in Longfield?

Accepted Answer

Every load price — £140 for 3 cubic yards, £210 for 6, £290 for 9 and £400 for a full 12-cubic-yard load — includes a two-person crew who carry everything out, all loading and lifting from anywhere in the property or garden, transport, transfer-station gate fees, a sweep-up afterwards and your waste transfer note emailed within 24 hours. There are no fuel, congestion, stair or weekend surcharges in Longfield. Only weight-based waste such as soil, rubble and concrete, and specialist items like fridges (£70) and commercial fridges (£120), are priced separately.

Question 8

When can you collect in Longfield, and how quickly?

Accepted Answer

Book before 11am and same-day collection is usually available in Longfield, otherwise next working day including Saturdays, with a two-hour arrival window and a call when the crew is en route. We collect Monday to Friday 7am–7pm, Saturday 7am–5pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. Load size does not change availability — a 3-cubic-yard quarter load and a 12-cubic-yard full load are booked on the same slots, and larger clearances are scheduled as consecutive loads on the same day.

Question 9

How late can I book a same-day rubbish collection?

Accepted Answer

11am is the realistic cut-off for a same-day slot in Medway and mid-Kent. Between 11am and 2pm we can sometimes still fit a small load in if a crew finishes early nearby; after that we book you first thing the next morning rather than promise a slot we might miss.

Question 10

Do you charge extra for same-day collection?

Accepted Answer

No. A quarter van is £140 whether you booked it a fortnight ago or an hour ago. We would rather fill the van today at the standard price than hold the slot empty.

Question 11

Which areas can you reach same day?

Accepted Answer

Medway, Gravesham, Maidstone, Swale and Tonbridge & Malling are usually straightforward. Canterbury, Ashford, Thanet, Dover and Folkestone depend on where the van already is that morning — call and we will tell you before you commit.
