Rubbish Freighter Service
Badgers Mount Parish Council (via Sevenoaks District Council) provides a 'Saturday freighter service' for bulky waste.
It calls at the bottom of Badgers Road (junction with the Orpington Bypass). Waste can't be left at the pick-up area in must be loaded into the freighter.

It normally operates on the second or third Saturday in January, April, July and October.
Note This service hasn't returned to its normal pre-pandemic schedule.
Dates, when they become available will be published on the calendar.
