Energy Conversion

Diverted via EfW when traditional recycling is not possible.

Waste Management Across Kent — Areas We Serve

CDDL Recycling provides managed waste collection and disposal services to businesses across the full Kent region. Headquartered in Sheerness, our physical fleet and operational hubs allow us to service clients reliably from the Thames Estuary to the Channel coast.

Waste Management in Maidstone

As the county town of Kent, Maidstone supports a dense mix of professional services, retail, and food and hospitality businesses. We provide regular scheduled collections and on-demand clearances across the town, covering commercial premises along the High Street, the Fremlin Walk retail area, the Eclipse Business Park, and surrounding industrial estates.

Common waste streams we manage for Maidstone businesses include general commercial waste and dry mixed recycling, confidential paper shredding for the town's legal and financial firms, food waste collections for restaurants and hospitality venues, and cardboard collections for retail operators.

Waste Management in Medway

The Medway towns — covering Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, Rainham, and Strood — represent one of the highest-density commercial areas in Kent. CDDL Recycling supports businesses across the Medway City Estate, Chatham Maritime, the Pentagon Centre, and the wider Medway Valley area.

With significant manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics activity in the Medway corridor, waste streams in this area often include high-volume general and recycling collections, industrial and regulated waste, WEEE and electrical equipment disposal, and clinical or hazardous waste for healthcare and laboratory operators.

Waste Management in Canterbury

Canterbury's economy is driven by tourism, hospitality, education, and professional services — each sector generating distinct waste management needs. We serve businesses across the city centre, the Wincheap area, Sturry Road, and the University of Kent campus district.

For Canterbury's hospitality sector — including the high concentration of restaurants, pubs, and hotels around the city centre — we provide food waste collections aligned with current mandatory segregation requirements, as well as glass waste and general commercial collections. For the city's law firms, accountancy practices, and professional offices, our confidential waste destruction service provides GDPR-compliant disposal with documented chain of custody.

Waste Management in Gravesend

Gravesend and the surrounding Swanscombe and Ebbsfleet area is one of Kent's fastest-growing commercial corridors, with significant new development along the Thames Estuary and established industrial activity at Northfleet and the Crossways Business Park.

We manage waste for a range of businesses across Gravesend — from offices and retail premises in the town centre to logistics operators, construction firms, and light industrial sites in the surrounding estates. Our fleet regularly operates throughout the area, providing both scheduled bin collections and high-volume RoRo container services for larger sites.

Waste Management in Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne sits at the heart of the Swale district and is home to a significant industrial and manufacturing base, including the Eurolink Business Park — one of the largest business parks in the South East. CDDL Recycling's Sheerness headquarters means we offer particularly strong response times and service continuity across the Sittingbourne area.

We handle waste for manufacturers, logistics operators, and retail and office businesses across the town, with services covering general and recycling collections, specialist recycling for plastics, wood, and cardboard, and hazardous waste streams for regulated industrial operators.

Waste Management in Faversham

Faversham is a market town with a strong independent retail, food production, and hospitality presence. The town's brewing heritage, working creek, and tourism economy generate a varied mix of commercial waste streams. We support businesses across the town centre, the Standard Quay area, and surrounding food and agricultural businesses.

Services we provide in Faversham include scheduled collections for food and hospitality businesses, cardboard and packaging waste for retail and food producers, and general commercial waste for offices and independent businesses along Market Place and the wider town.

Waste Management in Tonbridge

Tonbridge is a well-connected commuter and commercial town serving businesses along the A21 and M25 corridors. The town's mix of professional services, retail, and light industrial activity is served by CDDL from our Kent network, with regular collection routes covering the town centre, the Tonbridge Industrial Estate, and surrounding business parks.

We provide general waste and dry mixed recycling collections for offices and retail premises, confidential waste disposal for professional firms, and food waste collections for the town's cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues. For larger commercial and construction operators, skip hire and RoRo container services are available on request.

Waste Management in Folkestone

Folkestone's regenerating town centre, port activity, and growing creative and hospitality quarter create a range of commercial waste requirements. CDDL Recycling serves businesses across the town, from the Harbour Quarter to the Shorncliffe Industrial Estate and the Channel Tunnel corridor.

Services in Folkestone cover standard commercial collections, food and hospitality waste for the harbour's growing restaurant scene, and specialist waste streams for logistics and port-adjacent operators. Our position within the Kent network means collections can be coordinated across sites for businesses operating in both Folkestone and other parts of the county.

Waste Management in Dover

Dover is home to the UK's busiest freight port and a significant logistics, warehousing, and distribution sector. Businesses operating in and around the port, the White Cliffs Business Park, and the Whitfield Urban Extension generate substantial and often specialist waste volumes.

CDDL Recycling supports Dover businesses with high-capacity general and recycling collections, hazardous and regulated waste management for logistics operators, WEEE disposal for warehousing and distribution centres, and confidential waste destruction for port-adjacent commercial offices. We provide documented Duty of Care throughout — essential for businesses operating in a regulated border environment.
