Wait & load service for Sheerness households and businesses
The Isle of Sheppey's main town, a former dockyard settlement with port industry and dense terraced housing.
Victorian terraces in Mile Town and Blue Town with chalet and bungalow stock at Leysdown and Minster. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Island access over the Sheppey Crossing means fewer carriers cover ME12, and chalet park clearances at Leysdown are a distinct seasonal workload.
Our crews reach Sheerness via A249 Sheppey Crossing, A250, B2231, and we work regularly across Blue Town, Halfway, Minster, Queenborough, Leysdown. 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.
