Wait & load for Wouldham households and landlords
A single-street riverside village on the Medway opposite Halling, expanded by the Peters Village development.
Period river cottages along one narrow street plus modern housing at Peters Village. That housing mix shapes how we run wait & load here: The village street is too narrow for skips or large vehicles, so items are carried to a van parked clear of the through route.
Our crews reach Wouldham via High Street Wouldham, A228 nearby, Peters Village link road and work regularly across Wouldham village, Peters Village, Burham. 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.
Wouldham sits in the Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council area, so tip runs go to Tonbridge Household Waste Recycling Centre, Vale Road and the council alternative is Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council collects bulky items by appointment for a per-item fee. We cover the town from our Rochester depot with no travel surcharge on ME1 jobs.
