Wait & load for Strood households and landlords
The west bank of the Medway, dominated by the Medway City Estate, the Strood retail parks and the Temple Marsh industrial corridor.
Interwar and post-war semis plus new riverside apartment developments at Rochester Riverside. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Medway City Estate generates constant trade waste and fit-out clearance work, and Cuxton recycling centre nearby restricts commercial loads entirely.
Our crews reach Strood via A2, A228 Cuxton Road, M2 junction 2, A289 and work regularly across Temple Farm, Frindsbury, Wainscott, Cuxton. 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.
Strood is one of our home-patch ME2 rounds — the vans run from Unit 4, Medway City Estate, Rochester ME2 4DP, so Strood 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.
