On the ground, access is a booked goods lift and loading bay, with the concierge given notice before the first cage goes down. Oldham Council runs parking and licensing in OL1, so any bay suspension near Oldham Coliseum heritage and Alexandra Park is booked by us and already inside the quoted figure — you are never asked for it on the day.
Tommyfield Market, Gallery Oldham and one of the region's most diverse populations. We use those local outlets deliberately — 89% of what we take out of Oldham is reused, recycled or composted through Oldham routes rather than going straight to a transfer station.

Hilltop mill town, once the world's spinning capital, now on the Metrolink with the Pennines on its doorstep. We work the same round through chadderton, royton, failsworth, so the crew already knows which Oldham streets take a Luton and which need the smaller van.
