Wait & load for Gravesend households and landlords
A Thames-side town with a large multi-generational housing stock, riverside industry at Northfleet and strong demand for HMO and landlord clearances.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the centre, post-war estates at Riverview Park and new riverside apartments. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Terraced streets around Perry Street and Northfleet have no off-street parking, so we schedule early-morning slots to keep the road clear during loading.
Our crews reach Gravesend via A2, A226 London Road, A227 Wrotham Road, M25 via A2 and work regularly across Northfleet, Perry Street, Singlewell, Riverview Park, Istead Rise. 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.
Gravesend sits in the Gravesham Borough Council area, so tip runs go to Pepper Hill Household Waste Recycling Centre, Northfleet and the council alternative is Gravesham Borough Council charges a banded fee for bulky household collections. We cover the town from our Rochester depot with no travel surcharge on DA11, DA12, DA13 jobs.
