About Cookham
Why Cookham businesses choose FJL.
Cookham is a Thames-side village in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, just north of Maidenhead and across the river from Bourne End. It has three parts, Cookham village with its High Street by the river, Cookham Rise around the station and Cookham Dean up on the hill, and a commercial base built on pubs, restaurants, river businesses and local trades. We collect across all three every week.
Cookham's High Street is a short conservation-area run of pubs, restaurants, galleries and independent shops, with the Stanley Spencer Gallery at one end and Cookham Bridge over the Thames at the other. Food and drink is the biggest commercial stream, and summer weekends bring walkers, boaters and day visitors along the Thames Path. Cookham Rise has a small parade near the station on the Marlow branch line, and Cookham Dean has its own pubs and the businesses on the common. Boatyards, sailing clubs, schools and the trades who run from the village add the rest.

Why FJL in Cookham
Local enough to care, big enough to deliver.
Cookham sits on our regular Maidenhead and Marlow rounds. Our drivers know the tight access on the High Street, the parking on Cookham Moor, the restrictions on Cookham Bridge and the narrow lanes up to Cookham Dean, and they plan around the summer weekend traffic. Pubs and restaurants get early collections that clear bins before lunch service, with glass and food waste on their own schedules.

FAQ
Common questions from Cookham businesses.
How quickly can you start commercial waste collections in Cookham?
Most new Cookham customers are on a route within the same week. Call before 11am and we can usually arrange a same-week start.
Do you collect from small premises and large sites in Cookham?
Yes. We serve everything in Cookham from a single-bin coffee shop to multi-site office estates, with bin sizes from 120 to 1100 litres and roll on roll off skips for larger needs.
What waste streams can FJL handle in Cookham?
General commercial waste, mixed dry recycling, food waste, glass, cardboard and confidential shredding. Plus skip hire for builders and large clear-outs. One supplier, one invoice, one number to call.
Are you fully licensed to collect waste in Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead?
Yes. FJL Waste Services holds Waste Carrier Licence CBDU91900 and full insurance. You will receive Duty of Care documentation with every collection.
Do you tie customers into long contracts?
No multi-year tie-ins. We use a plain initial term that then continues on a rolling basis, with a clear notice period if you want to leave.
Are FJL cheaper than the national waste companies for Cookham businesses?
Most new customers in Cookham find us cheaper than what they had before. Send us your last invoice and we will quote you back in plain English. Fuel surcharges and any price changes are flagged in writing before they apply.
Where is the FJL depot in relation to Cookham?
Our depot is a short run from Cookham, which is why our drivers know the area well and our response times are quick. Most Cookham routes are run by drivers who have collected here for years.
Do you collect from pubs and restaurants on Cookham High Street?
Yes. The High Street is on our SL6 round with early collection windows, so bins are emptied before service and the narrow street is clear for visitors. Glass, food waste and general waste can all be collected on their own schedules.
Do you collect more often in summer?
Yes, if you need it. Riverside pubs, cafes and boatyards in Cookham get much busier from spring to early autumn. We can step up collections for the summer and drop back over winter, so you are not paying for extra lifts you do not need.
Who issues skip permits in Cookham?
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead issues skip permits for the public highway in Cookham. We apply for the permit as part of the booking, and much of the village centre is a conservation area, so placement is agreed with the council first.
