Tip runs in Thornbury: what we take
How it works round here.
Thornbury, South Gloucestershire • Tip Runs
If you live in the BS35 area of Thornbury, you'll know that both Yate Sort It Recycling Centre and Little Stoke Sort It Recycling Centre require a booking before you can turn up with a van load, which makes clearing out old furniture or garden waste more fiddly than it should be.
Van & Driver is bringing its Tip Run service to Thornbury soon, covering the town itself as well as trips out towards Bradley Stoke and Yate. Once live, the service will take care of loading from your home or garden, transport to a licensed disposal site, and the paperwork, with a waste transfer note provided as proof that everything has been dealt with properly. The idea is a fixed price agreed before anything is loaded, so there's no need to worry about booking slots at the recycling centres yourself or working out how a load will be classed once you get there. Tip Runs are built for the things that pile up around a house and garden in Thornbury: old furniture that's outlived its use, garden waste after a tidy-up, rubble and offcuts from DIY or renovation work, and the boxes and bags left over from a general clear-out. We'll confirm as soon as local partner drivers are covering Thornbury, so keep an eye on this page for an update on when you'll be able to book.

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.
