Wait & load for Tenterden households and landlords
A wide-high-street Wealden town with heritage rail, antiques trade and a substantial retired population.
Georgian and weatherboard houses on the High Street with bungalow estates at St Michaels. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: Downsizing and probate clearances dominate in TN30, often with antiques and collectables that need separating before disposal.
Our crews reach Tenterden via A28, B2067, B2082 and work regularly across St Michaels, Rolvenden, Appledore, Woodchurch. 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.
Tenterden sits in the Ashford Borough Council area, so tip runs go to Ashford Household Waste Recycling Centre, Cobbs Wood and the council alternative is Ashford Borough Council offers chargeable bulky collections and a separate mattress fee.
