Wait & load for Sandwich households and landlords
A remarkably intact medieval Cinque Port with narrow lanes, listed buildings and a large business park at Discovery Park.
Listed medieval and Georgian town houses on narrow lanes with modern estates on the fringe. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Medieval lanes in CT13 cannot take skips or large vehicles, while Discovery Park tenants need registered trade collections with transfer notes.
Our crews reach Sandwich via A256, A257, Ramsgate Road and work regularly across Sandwich town, Woodnesborough, Eastry, Worth. 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.
Sandwich sits in the Dover District Council area, so tip runs go to Whitfield Household Waste Recycling Centre and the council alternative is Dover District Council runs a bulky waste collection priced per item with a booking window. We cover the town from our Rochester depot with no travel surcharge on CT13 jobs.
