Tip runs in Exeter: what we take
How it works round here.
Exeter, Devon • Tip Runs
Exeter’s Exton Road Recycling Centre sits less than a mile from the city centre, but it operates a permit-only rule for vans, which catches out a lot of people trying to clear out a garage or garden themselves.
Van & Driver is bringing its Tip Runs service to Exeter soon, covering the EX1, EX2 and EX4 postcode districts, to take that hassle away. Once live, the service will cover old furniture, garden waste, DIY and renovation rubble, and general boxes and bags, with everything loaded straight from your home or garden and taken to a licensed disposal site. A waste transfer note is included as a matter of course, and the price is fixed before any job begins, so there’s no surprise once the van is loaded. That matters in a city like Exeter, where parking permits are often needed near the centre and where journeys can easily extend beyond the city boundary — a run out to Crediton, a short way northwest, or down to Exmouth on the coast, follows the same fixed-price approach as a trip within Exeter itself. We’ll confirm here as soon as booking opens for the town, so you know exactly when a Tip Run can be arranged rather than guessing at availability. For now, this page will be updated the moment the service goes live in Exeter.

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 Exeter?+
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 Exeter?+
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 Exeter type into Google, answered.
Can you take a mattress to the tip in Exeter?+
Yes, mattresses are fine. A tip run in Exeter 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 Exeter?+
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 Exeter?+
If you're going yourself, the council's rule is: Vans need a permit. With a tip run, that's our job, not yours.
