Tip runs in Ilminster: what we take
How it works round here.
Ilminster, Somerset • Tip Runs
Ilminster's TA19 postcode covers a compact market town, but the nearest recycling centre isn't on your doorstep — Chard Recycling Centre sits 3.5 miles away on Beeching Close, and it requires a booking before vans can drop off there, which is exactly the sort of detail that catches people out when they're trying to clear a garage or garden themselves.
Van & Driver takes that hassle away with a fixed-price Tip Run: a partner driver loads whatever needs to go, whether that's old furniture, garden waste, DIY rubble, or just boxes and bags you've never got round to sorting, and takes it straight to a licensed disposal site. You'll get a waste transfer note for your records, so there's no question over where the load ended up.
Prices are set in advance depending on how much you need moved and where it's going. A single item cleared within Ilminster starts at £55, while a full van load runs to £249. If your rubbish needs taking further afield, a full van to nearby Chard is £249, and to Taunton, which is just over ten miles out, a full load costs £255. Whatever the size of the job, you'll know the price before you book, with no surprises once the driver arrives at your home or garden in Ilminster.
