Wait & load service for Cranbrook households and businesses
A Wealden town of weatherboarded houses and narrow lanes at the centre of rural mid-Kent.
Listed weatherboard and tile-hung houses with rural properties and barns. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Narrow Wealden lanes and listed frontages rule out skips, and the nearest recycling centre is a long round trip.
Our crews reach Cranbrook via A229, A262, B2189, and we work regularly across Sissinghurst, Hawkhurst, Goudhurst, Benenden. 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.
