Wait & load service for Herne Bay households and businesses
A Victorian seaside town with a large retired population, extensive bungalow stock and a high rate of downsizing and probate clearances.
Large bungalow estates at Beltinge and Studd Hill, Victorian seafront terraces and post-war semis. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Herne Bay's older demographic means probate and downsizing house clearances are the most requested service in CT6, often with lofts and garages untouched for decades.
Our crews reach Herne Bay via A299 Thanet Way, A291 Canterbury Road, A2990 Old Thanet Way, and we work regularly across Beltinge, Greenhill, Studd Hill, Hampton, Herne. 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.
