Tip runs in Caterham: what we take
How it works round here.
Caterham, Surrey • Tip Runs
Caterham's own recycling centre sits just off Chaldon Road, barely a tenth of a mile from the town centre, which makes the CR3 area an easy spot for clearing out furniture, garden waste or a van full of renovation debris.
Van & Driver is preparing to launch tip run services here, connecting Caterham residents with local partner drivers who will handle the loading, transport and licensed disposal of unwanted items, whether that's a single armchair or a full load of boxes and bags after a house clear-out. Once live, the service will cover not just Caterham itself but nearby Warlingham, around two miles away, along with other surrounding areas such as South Merstham and Croydon, all at a fixed price agreed before the job starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
Every tip run will come with a waste transfer note, giving you a paper trail showing your rubbish has gone to a licensed recycling centre rather than ending up somewhere it shouldn't. This is particularly useful for anyone tackling DIY projects, garden clearances or simply trying to declutter a home in Caterham without the hassle of hiring a van themselves or making multiple trips to the recycling centre. We'll update this page as soon as booking opens for the town, so check back to arrange your tip run with a local driver.
