Tip runs in Lewes: what we take
How it works round here.
Lewes, East Sussex • Tip Runs
Lewes sits within the BN7 postcode, with Brighton and Hove some five miles further south.
Van & Driver is getting ready to launch tip runs here, covering the kind of clear-outs that build up in a town like this: old furniture from terraced houses near the station, garden waste from the allotments and back plots that back onto the Downs, DIY and renovation debris, and the odd stack of boxes and bags nobody quite knows what to do with. Once the service goes live, the plan is straightforward — a driver loads everything from your home or garden, takes it to a licensed disposal site, and hands over a waste transfer note so there's a proper record of where it went. The price will be fixed before anything is booked, whether the job is a single armchair or a full van load, and whether it stays within Lewes or heads out towards Newhaven, Peacehaven or Brighton and Hove. We don't yet have a partner driver based in Lewes, so this page is here to explain what's coming rather than to take a booking today. Once cover is arranged locally, this will be the place to check prices and get a tip run sorted without having to hire a van yourself or find room for rubbish in a car boot.

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.
