Tip runs in Merton: what we take
How it works round here.
Merton, Merton • Tip Runs
Merton spans four postcode districts – SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4 – stretching from the shops near Wimbledon Chase station down towards Morden, with the Garth Road Recycling and Reuse Centre sitting just over two miles from the centre.
It's the kind of spread-out patch where a tip run can mean a short hop across town or a longer haul out towards Wandsworth or Kingston upon Thames, and clearing out old furniture, garden waste or the aftermath of a renovation project is rarely as simple as it sounds.
Van & Driver is bringing its Tip Runs service to Merton soon. Once live, it will work in the same way it does elsewhere: a fixed price agreed upfront, loading handled from your home or garden, and everything taken to a licensed disposal site with a proper waste transfer note issued afterwards. The idea is to take the guesswork out of getting rid of bulky items, whether that's a single old sofa, bags and boxes cleared from a loft, or a full van's worth of renovation debris. With Morden South and South Merton stations nearby, and Priory Retail Park just up the road, this is a well-connected part of London, and we're working to get local coverage in place so residents here can book a tip run with the same fixed-price simplicity as areas like Wandsworth and Kingston upon Thames already enjoy.
