Tip runs in Chard: what we take
How it works round here.
Chard, Somerset • Tip Runs
Chard Recycling Centre on Beeching Close sits less than a mile from the town centre, but its van rule means booking a slot before you turn up with a load — one more thing to arrange when you're trying to clear out a house or garden.
Van & Driver takes that off your hands. Book a van and driver for a fixed price and we'll load whatever needs to go from your home or garden in Chard, TA20, run it to a licensed disposal site, and hand you the waste transfer note afterwards, so there's no paperwork left for you to chase. It covers the usual culprits: old furniture that won't fit in a normal bin collection, garden waste after a tidy-up, rubble and offcuts from DIY or renovation work, and the boxes and bags that pile up during a clearout or a move.
The price is fixed before you book, whether it's a single armchair or a full van load, and it stays the same whether you're staying within Chard or heading out towards Ilminster, just over four miles away. There's no need to check opening hours at the recycling centre or work out how to get a sofa into a car boot — the driver deals with loading, transport and disposal as one job. It's a straightforward way to get rid of things that are too big, too awkward, or simply too much for a household bin round in Chard.
