If your Folkestone business is juggling several waste streams and suppliers, we can help to take that off your plate. TW Services has run waste collections across Kent since 1995, sorting and recycling everything from general waste to hazardous materials at our Richborough site.
Instead of splitting your waste load across multiple contracts, our total waste management service puts one team and one point of contact behind the whole job - making life simpler for you.
We offer:
A single waste management plan covering every stream your site produces
Collection for general, recyclable, confidential and hazardous waste
A genuine Zero-to-Landfill policy, not just a recycling claim
A free, no-obligation quote
We collect from businesses across Morehall, Cheriton, Sandgate, Capel-le-Ferne and Park Farm Industrial Estate, as well as the town centre. Our team can usually get a first collection booked in within just a few days.

How we handle waste collection in Folkestone
Our team will start with a quick look at your site and the types and volume of waste you're producing. We'll then put together a plan and collection schedule that fits around you, managing each waste stream so nothing gets missed or mixed up.
All waste collected is sorted at our recycling centre in Richmond before it's recycled or recovered. We can collect:
General waste, garden waste, and bulky waste
Business waste
Confidential waste
Construction and demolition materials
Who we work with in Folkestone
Folkestone's economy leans heavily on its retail parks, hospitality sector, and proximity to the Channel Tunnel, so the waste we collect here differs from most other towns we operate in. Customers we work with include:
Construction sites
Retail parks
Restaurants and hotels
Schools
Hospitals and care homes
Local councils
And more.
Zero-to-Landfill Folkestone waste management
Every tonne of rubbish we collect from the Folkestone area goes through the same recycling or recovery process - nothing is ever dumped in landfill.
We process 750,000 tonnes of waste a year this way - this isn't just a recycling claim; it's how our business runs.
We're also a registered hazardous waste carrier, certified to handle the classification and paperwork for anything specialist, so you've got proof it was dealt with properly if you ever need it.

Skip sizes guide
Our skip sizes range from four to 12 cubic yards which provide a very cost-effective way to dispose of bulky waste including furniture and garden waste. For a skip that will be placed on the road, there will be an extra charge of £50.00 (per week) added for a permit from the council. If a permit is required, it takes 3 days to obtain permission from the local authority so factor this in when you’re planning the hire of your skip.
To help you decide which size skip would be best for you, please refer to our waste skip sizes guide pages. We’ve included skip sizes in yards and skip capacity m3 to give you a good idea of what will fit in each skip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Effective waste management offers numerous benefits for both the environment and the community. Here are some key benefits:

2. Resource conservation: Recycling and reusing materials helps to conserve natural resources. This reduces the need for raw materials and preserves our planet's finite resources.
3. Public health: Proper waste disposal ensures that harmful substances and hazardous waste are handled correctly, reducing the risk of health hazards to the public.
4. Economic boost: Waste management can create jobs and generate revenue through recycling programs and waste processing. It can also help businesses to save money by reducing the costs associated with waste disposal.

A Zero-to-Landfill policy is an environmentally responsible approach to waste management where none of the waste collected is sent to landfills. Instead, waste is diverted through various methods, including recycling, composting, and energy recovery.
This policy aims to minimise the environmental impact of waste disposal in Folkestone and wider Kent by maximising sustainable practices.
Implementing a Zero-to-Landfill policy reduces landfill dependency, lowers carbon footprints, and promotes a circular economy where materials are continuously reused and recycled.

We are equipped to manage a variety of waste types to ensure comprehensive waste solutions for our clients. Here’s a breakdown of the waste types we handle and dispose of in Folkestone:
1. General waste: This includes everyday household and business waste that cannot be recycled, such as food scraps, non-recyclable packaging, and non-hazardous industrial waste.
2. Recyclable materials: We collect and process materials like paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals, ensuring they are recycled and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle.
