Here's every option for rubbish removal in Dorset, ranked by cost.
Take household waste to your nearest tip for free. You'll need your own vehicle, fuel, and time. Multiple trips for larger amounts. Busiest on Saturday mornings.
BCP: £37.50 for 3 items. Dorset Council: £30 for first item. 2–4 week wait. Kerbside only — you carry items out. Doesn't cover bags of rubbish, only bulky items.
Bags from £40, single items from £45, half loads from £140, full loads from £220. Same-day, we load, from inside your home. We accept almost everything.
Varies wildly. Some are excellent, some are uninsured and fly-tip. Always check: are they a licensed waste carrier? Do they provide a waste transfer note?
Best for ongoing projects. You load it. Sits for 1–2 weeks. Road permit needed if not on your drive.
If you have time and a car, the tip is free. If you have 1–3 bulky items and can wait, the council is cheapest. For anything else — speed, convenience, heavy items, or anything the council won't take — TipRun is the best value.
TipRun: bags from £40, loads from £140. Same-day.
Cheapest: donate for free (if in good condition). Next: council bulky waste £30–37.50 (but 2–4 week wait). Fastest: TipRun from £65 (same-day, from inside).
Yes — household waste is free at all Dorset recycling centres. You just need to get there with your waste.
