Tip runs in Barnet: what we take
How it works round here.
Barnet, Barnet • Tip Runs
If you live in the EN5 or HA8 postcode districts of Barnet, your nearest civic amenity site is the Summers Lane Civic Amenity and Recycling Centre, a couple of miles from the centre and one that requires a van booking slot rather than a walk-up drop-off, which is exactly the kind of hassle a tip run is meant to avoid.
Van & Driver is bringing its Tip Runs service to Barnet soon, covering everything from old furniture and garden waste to DIY rubble and general boxes and bags cleared from your home or garden. Once live, the service will include loading, disposal at a licensed recycling centre, a waste transfer note for your records, and a fixed price agreed before the job starts, so there's no meter running and no surprises at the tip. Barnet sits close to Borehamwood, and journeys between the two, as well as trips to Brent and Haringey, will be covered under the same fixed-price structure. We're not yet able to take bookings in Barnet, but we're setting up the local coverage needed to get vans and drivers into the area, ready to deal with whatever needs shifting out of your house, garden or building site. Check back here for an update on when Tip Runs becomes bookable in your postcode.

Will two people come?+
When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.
