Tip runs in Sidmouth: what we take
How it works round here.
Sidmouth, Devon • Tip Runs
Sidmouth Recycling Centre sits just off the coast road at Bowd, less than two miles from the town centre, but it runs a permit system for van access that catches plenty of people out when they're clearing a house or garden.
Van & Driver is bringing fixed-price Tip Runs to Sidmouth soon, covering everything from old furniture and DIY rubble to garden waste, boxes and bags. Once live, the service will take care of loading at your home, disposal at a licensed recycling centre, and the paperwork that goes with it, including a waste transfer note, all for one fixed price agreed upfront. That matters here, where the nearest alternative site at Knowle Hill in Exmouth is over six miles off, and getting a permit sorted for either centre isn't always straightforward if you're not doing the drive yourself. We're also planning routes out to nearby Ottery St Mary and Budleigh Salterton, so anyone clearing a property between towns, or moving items to storage rather than disposal, will have a fixed price to work with rather than a guess. Sidmouth's EX10 postcode area, with its steep lanes and limited resident parking, is exactly the kind of place where a properly loaded van and a driver who knows the local access rules save a lot of hassle. We'll update this page as soon as booking opens for the town, so check back if you've got a clearance coming up.

Can I get a van and driver today in Sidmouth?+
Yes, if you book by 3pm and a driver is free: the earliest arrival is the hour after next. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow. The price is the same any day.
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.

Anywhere in England. A move includes the first 10 miles, then £1.80 a mile, shown in the price before you pay; over 150 miles we give you a quote instead. Tip runs have no distance charge.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
People ask

Can you take a mattress to the tip in Sidmouth?+
Yes, mattresses are fine. A tip run in Sidmouth starts at £70, and getting rid of it is included in the price.

Asbestos, gas bottles, chemicals and solvents, clinical waste, engine oil and petrol, and fireworks. The booking flags anything like that as you add it.

Do you take garden waste in Sidmouth?+
Yes. Garden waste, house clearances and old furniture all work the same way: a fixed price with the disposal included.
