How to Get Rid of Rubble and Soil in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset

Information verified September 2026

Your options for rubble and soil

Rubble, hardcore and soil count as DIY waste, not household rubbish, so they can't go in your bin. You can take a small amount to the tip for free, pay for more, or have it collected.

Dorset Council tips

When a collection makes more sense

The free allowances are small. A patio dig or a bathroom strip-out is usually far more than two bags, and rubble is heavy to lift into a car. A tipper collection takes it all in one go. At TipRun, rubble and soil are priced by weight, so send photos and we give you the price before we load. Runs start from £49.

Council details checked against the BCP and Dorset Council websites in 2026-09. Rules change, so check the council site before you go.
