Waste collection & rubbish removal for Chatham households and businesses
The commercial heart of the Medway Towns, with dense terraced streets on the Luton and Chatham Hill slopes and student housing around the Universities at Medway campus.
Steep terraced streets with no rear access, plus 1960s and 1970s estates at Walderslade and Princes Park. That housing mix shapes how we work here: Terraced streets on the Luton and Chatham Hill slopes rarely have space for a skip, so wait-and-load collections are the practical alternative here.
Our crews reach Chatham via M2 junctions 3-4, A2 Watling Street, A229 Chatham Hill, A230 Maidstone Road, and we work regularly across Luton, Walderslade, Wayfield, Brompton, Davis Estate, Princes Park. Waste collection — often called rubbish removal or man-and-van clearance — is a licensed service where a crew loads your unwanted items, transports them to a permitted transfer station and issues a waste transfer note proving lawful disposal.
