Tip runs in Bath: what we take
How it works round here.
Bath, Bath and North East Somerset • Tip Runs
Bath's tightly packed BA1 and BA2 streets, hemmed in by hills and permit parking near the University of Bath's Thornbank Gardens car parks, make it awkward to shift bulky waste without a proper vehicle.
Tip Runs is built for exactly this kind of job: clearing old furniture, garden waste, DIY rubble or a stack of boxes and bags from your home in Bath and taking it straight to a licensed disposal site, with the nearest recycling centre out at Keynsham needing a booking slip to get in. The fixed price covers loading from your home or garden, proper disposal, and a waste transfer note for your records, so there's nothing extra to work out once you've booked. Whether you're clearing a garden shed off Lower Bristol Road, sorting through a renovation near Oldfield Park, or finally emptying a garage before a move to somewhere like Keynsham or Bradford-on-Avon, the same fixed-price approach applies, with separate trip prices set for runs beyond Bath itself. You book online, a van and driver are arranged for the job, and everything is loaded and taken away in one visit. There's no need to hire a van yourself, find someone to help carry things, or track down a site that will take what you've got. It's a straightforward way to get rid of things you no longer want, without the hassle of doing several trips yourself.

Who carries the waste?+
Only registered partners carry rubbish. You get a waste transfer note.
Is there anything you can’t take?+
Hazardous waste such as asbestos, gas bottles and chemicals can’t go. The booking flow tells you as you add items.

A single item is £55 to £85 by size, a move £69 to £349 by load, a tip run from £70 and a house clearance from £599. The first 10 miles of a move are included, then £1.80 a mile. Every price is fixed and shown before you book.
Can I get a van and driver today in Bath?+
Yes, if you book by 3pm and a driver is free: the earliest arrival is the hour after next. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow. The price is the same any day.
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.
How far will you go from Bath?+
Anywhere in England. A move includes the first 10 miles, then £1.80 a mile, shown in the price before you pay; over 150 miles we give you a quote instead. Tip runs have no distance charge.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
People ask
What people in Bath type into Google, answered.
Can you take a mattress to the tip in Bath?+
Yes, mattresses are fine. A tip run in Bath starts at £70, and getting rid of it is included in the price.
What can't go in a tip run?+
Asbestos, gas bottles, chemicals and solvents, clinical waste, engine oil and petrol, and fireworks. The booking flags anything like that as you add it.
Do I get a waste transfer note?+
Yes. Every load of rubbish has one, and only partners with a checked, in-date waste carrier registration do tip runs.
Do you take garden waste in Bath?+
Yes. Garden waste, house clearances and old furniture all work the same way: a fixed price with the disposal included.
Where does my rubbish go?+
To a licensed recycling centre, never a lay-by, with a waste transfer note for your records.
Do I need a permit to take a van to the tip in Bath?+
If you're going yourself, the council's rule is: Book a slot before you go. With a tip run, that's our job, not yours.
