Wait & load service for Upnor households and businesses
A conservation-area riverside village of cobbled lanes below Upnor Castle, opposite Chatham Historic Dockyard.
Listed cottages on a cobbled high street with larger period houses at Upper Upnor. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Cobbled conservation lanes at Upnor cannot take skips or large vehicles, so items are barrowed out to a van parked at the top of the hill.
Our crews reach Upnor via Upnor Road, A289, A228, and we work regularly across Lower Upnor, Upper Upnor. 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.
