Handy options include Speedy Storage 0.3 miles from the centre, UK Storage Company 6 miles away and Squab Storage Bridgwater 7.6 miles away, while Weston-super-Mare Recycling Centre is 8.5 miles away for clear-outs.

Highbridge sits right by its own railway station, Highbridge and Burnham, just two-tenths of a mile from the centre, with Burnham-on-Sea barely a mile and a half further on. It's a small Somerset town, in the TA9 postcode district, with Bridgwater and Weston-super-Mare both within a short drive for anyone needing to reach a bit further afield. Van & Driver is opening soon in Highbridge, bringing a straightforward way to book a van with a driver at a fixed price for moves of any size, rather than working out costs on the fly.
Once live, the service will cover the kind of moves that come up regularly in a town like this: house removals, student moves in and out of rented accommodation, furniture delivery, tip runs, and next-day van moves. There's also scope for storage moves, with facilities such as Speedy Storage close to the centre and larger options over in Bridgwater, plus commercial courier work and marketplace deliveries for anyone buying or selling items that need collecting and dropping off. Fixed pricing will apply whether the move stays within Highbridge, heads to nearby Burnham-on-Sea, or travels further to Bridgwater or Weston-super-Mare, so customers know the cost before the van sets off. Local partner drivers are expected to join the marketplace as coverage extends into the area.
Highbridge had 5,366 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Weston-super-Mare Recycling Centre, 8.5 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
