Tip runs in Southwick: what we take
How it works round here.
Southwick, West Sussex • Tip Runs
Southwick sits tight against the Sussex coast, split across the BN42 and BN41 postcode districts, with its own station barely a fifth of a mile from the centre and Fishersgate not much further along the line.
It's the kind of place where a shed clear-out or a garage full of old furniture is only ever a short hop from Shoreham-by-Sea or the recycling centre on Brighton Road, which makes tip runs a fairly regular need for people living here. Van & Driver is getting ready to launch in Southwick, bringing together the loading of items from your home or garden, proper disposal at a licensed recycling centre, a waste transfer note for your records, and one fixed price agreed before any work begins, whether you're clearing old furniture, garden waste, DIY rubble, or simply a stack of boxes and bags you no longer need. Once live, the service will connect Southwick residents with local partner drivers who know the area, from the tight streets near the seafront to the routes out towards Shoreham and beyond. For now, this page is here to explain what's coming and how it will work, so that when bookings open, clearing out a house, garden or garage in Southwick will be as simple as picking a time and letting someone else handle the loading, the driving and the drop-off.

Can I get a van and driver today in Southwick?+
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.
How far will you go from Southwick?+
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
What people in Southwick type into Google, answered.
Can you take a mattress to the tip in Southwick?+
Yes, mattresses are fine. A tip run in Southwick starts at £70, and getting rid of it is included in the price.
What can't go in a tip run?+
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 I get a waste transfer note?+
Yes. Every load of rubbish has one, and only partners with a checked, in-date waste carrier registration do tip runs.
Do you take garden waste in Southwick?+
Yes. Garden waste, house clearances and old furniture all work the same way: a fixed price with the disposal included.
Where does my rubbish go?+
To a licensed recycling centre, never a lay-by, with a waste transfer note for your records.
Do I need a permit to take a van to the tip in Southwick?+
If you're going yourself, the council's rule is: Book a slot before you go. With a tip run, that's our job, not yours.
