Tip runs in South Merstham: what we take
How it works round here.
South Merstham, Surrey • Tip Runs
South Merstham sits just half a mile from Merstham station, within the RH1 postcode area that runs through to Redhill and Reigate, and it's this compact spread of streets that makes clearing a house or garden here a fairly contained job.
Van & Driver is preparing to launch Tip Runs in South Merstham, so we can't yet take bookings for the town, but the service is designed with this kind of place in mind. Once live, it will cover the loading of old furniture, garden waste, DIY and renovation rubble, and general boxes and bags straight from your home or garden, with everything taken to a licensed disposal site and a waste transfer note provided as proof of correct disposal. The whole job will be set at a fixed price agreed before anyone arrives, so there's no need to work out van hire costs or tip fees separately.
For residents of South Merstham, the eventual convenience will lie in not having to load a car boot several times over or find a way to transport bulky items to Earlswood or Caterham's recycling centres. Instead, a local partner driver will be able to handle the loading, transport and legal disposal in one visit. We'll update this page as soon as Tip Runs becomes bookable for South Merstham and the surrounding Redhill area.
