Tip runs in Melksham: what we take
How it works round here.
Melksham, Wiltshire • Tip Runs
If you’ve got a van-load to clear from a house or garden in Melksham, the nearest tip is the recycling centre on Lancaster Road in Bowerhill, just over a mile from the town centre.
That’s useful to know if you’ve ever tried to fit an old wardrobe or a stack of garden waste into a car boot and given up halfway there. Van & Driver’s Tip Runs service is built for exactly that job: a driver comes to your home, loads up old furniture, garden waste, DIY rubble or just boxes and bags you no longer need, and takes it straight to a licensed disposal site, with a waste transfer note provided as part of the job. The price is fixed before you book, so there’s no working out costs on the day.
The service covers Melksham itself and the wider SN12 area, with set prices for trips further afield too, including out to Corsham, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon, all within a few miles of the town. Whether you’re clearing out after a house move, getting through a garden overhaul, or finally dealing with the last of the DIY leftovers, you can book a van and driver through Van & Driver now, with the loading, the drive to the tip, and the paperwork all sorted as one job.
