Wait & load for Lordswood households and landlords
A 1970s planned suburb on the North Downs above Chatham, paired with one of Medway's busiest light-industrial estates.
Uniform 1970s estate housing with small gardens, garages and a fringe of newer infill. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Lordswood Industrial Estate trade tenants need scheduled commercial collections while the surrounding estate produces steady bulky household loads.
Our crews reach Lordswood via A229, Lordswood Lane, M2 junction 3 and work regularly across Lordswood, Hook Meadow, Princes Park, Weeds Wood. 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.
Lordswood is one of our home-patch ME5 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Lordswood bookings taken before 11am are usually collected the same day. Household waste in this area is handled by Medway Council (unitary authority), with tip runs going to Cuxton and Capstone Road household waste recycling centres and council bulky collections offered as Medway Council operates a chargeable bulky waste service with banded pricing by item count.
