Wait & load service for Hempstead households and businesses
A planned residential suburb of Gillingham built around Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre and Capstone Farm Country Park.
1970s and 1980s detached and link-detached family housing with garages and loft conversions. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Long-term family ownership in ME7 means loft, garage and shed clearances of accumulated household items rather than single-item collections.
Our crews reach Hempstead via A278 Hoath Way, Hempstead Road, M2 junction 4, and we work regularly across Wigmore, Bredhurst, Capstone, Lidsing. 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.
