Tip runs in Merley: what we take
How it works round here.
Merley, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole • Tip Runs
Merley sits just 1.7 miles from Wimborne Minster, tucked into the BH21 and BH11 postcode districts on the western edge of the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.
If you're clearing out an old sofa, sorting through garden waste after a tidy-up, or bagging up rubble and offcuts from a renovation, a Tip Runs booking through Van & Driver takes the hassle out of getting it to a licensed disposal site. The job is loaded straight from your home or garden, driven to a proper facility, and covered by a waste transfer note, all for a fixed price agreed before anyone arrives. There's no need to hire a van yourself, work out whether it'll take the load, or queue at a recycling centre with no idea of the rules that day.
Prices for a single item, a half van load or a full van load are the same whether you're clearing something within Merley itself or moving waste on to Wimborne Minster or Corfe Mullen, with a small adjustment for trips out towards Ferndown. Merley doesn't yet have a driver based on its own doorstep, but bookings are taken and matched with a partner driver who'll come to you, so you can get the job booked and sorted without having to sort out disposal yourself.
