Waste Removal in Launceston

Launceston's castle, granite and market streets
The character of Cornwall's ancient gateway town
Launceston sits on a hill crowned by its Norman castle, with the River Kensey running through Newport below and the A30 forming the modern southern approach into Cornwall.
Norman Castle Core
The shell keep and Castle Green still dominate every view, shaping the streets that radiate from the historic centre.
Georgian Castle Street
Often called the finest Georgian street in Cornwall, it is lined with listed townhouses and museums.
Carved Granite Church
St Mary Magdalene's intricate exterior and Church Street form one of the town's most recognisable landmarks.
Kensey Valley Edge
Newport's lower ground beside the river requires different access planning from the high town streets.
On market days and during the Charles Causley Festival the centre around Broad Street and the Square fills quickly. Book collections early if your property sits on Race Hill or near Southgate so vehicles can park and load without delay.
