Wait & load for Chattenden households and landlords
A former military village on the Hoo Peninsula ridge, now redeveloped with substantial new housing on the old barracks land.
Former married-quarters housing alongside newer developments and rural cottages. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Ex-service housing refurbishment across ME3 produces repeated kitchen, bathroom and carpet strip-out loads.
Our crews reach Chattenden via A228, Main Road, Lodge Hill Lane and work regularly across Chattenden, Lodge Hill, Upnor fringe. Wait and load is a service where a licensed waste vehicle and crew arrive at an agreed time and remain on site while waste is loaded, then leave immediately. Because the vehicle is attended it does not require the highway permit a skip needs.
Chattenden is one of our home-patch ME3 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Chattenden 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.
