Wait & load service for Dover households and businesses
The UK's busiest ferry port, ringed by steep chalk valleys, Victorian terraces at Tower Hamlets and post-war housing at Buckland and Whitfield.
Victorian terraces in Buckland and Tower Hamlets on steep gradients, plus large post-war estates at Whitfield and Aycliffe. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Dover's terraced valleys have narrow, steeply graded streets where skip lorries struggle, and Whitfield recycling centre applies van permit restrictions.
Our crews reach Dover via A2, A20 Townwall Street, A256, M20 via A20, and we work regularly across Buckland, Tower Hamlets, River, Whitfield, Aycliffe, Temple Ewell. 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.
