Pick the closest match — we'll confirm when we see it
Got more than one load? We'll send the lads back for a second trip — no extra call-out fee. Two loads is often the smartest way to clear a whole house.
When you need a serious clear-out in Swanage, our full load fills an entire 3.5 tonne transit van — that's a couple of rooms' worth, a full garage, or a complete shed clear. stone cottages and Victorian villas across Herston, Langton Matravers and Worth Matravers regularly need this level of clear-out: post-renovation, pre-move, or just years of accumulated stuff that's finally time to go. We load everything for you, mix any types of waste, and sort it all for recycling at our depot. Small seaside town on the Isle of Purbeck. High proportion of retirees and second homes. Seasonal tourist population doubles the town in summer. For full house clearances, we do back-to-back loads on the same day at a discounted rate.
Multiple rooms? We can do back-to-back loads — no extra call-out fee on the second trip
Dorset Council's bulky waste service maxes out at a few items per booking at £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6). For a full van's worth of stuff, you'd need multiple bookings spread over weeks. TipRun clears the lot in one visit, one price, same-day.

| Volume | 3–6 items max per booking | Full van — any amount |
| Price | £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6) per booking | from £329 per van load |
| Bagged waste | Not accepted | Included in the load |
| Wait time | up to 4 weeks | Same-day available |
| Multiple loads | Multiple bookings needed | Back-to-back same day |
To match a full van load at Wareham Recycling Centre (9.0 miles from Swanage), you'd need 6-8 car trips — a full day's work. Loading, driving, queuing, sorting, unloading, and back again. Dorset address proof required. We do it in one trip, in about an hour, and you don't even need to help.
Many older properties with narrow doorways and steep steps. The Purbeck Hills mean some properties are on slopes. Access roads can be narrow. For full loads, we need clear access and ideally close parking. If we're clearing multiple rooms, we'll work systematically through the property. Have items you want to keep clearly separated and flagged. Town centre has limited parking. Residential areas have on-street. Summer traffic can cause delays on the A351.
From £329. Same-day collection available.
A 3.5 tonne transit van — roughly 2 rooms' worth of furniture and bags, or a full garage clearance, or a complete shed clear. Very heavy loads (all rubble) may be visually less than "full" due to weight limits of about 1 tonne.
Full loads in Swanage start from £329. For multiple loads (full house clearances), we offer discounted rates — call us for a fixed quote.
Yes — for house clearances we regularly do 2-4 loads back-to-back on the same day. Call us to arrange a multi-load clearance and we'll quote for the whole job.
Anything — furniture, appliances, bags of rubbish, garden waste, carpets, boxes, small amounts of rubble. Mix it all together. The only exceptions are hazardous chemicals and asbestos.
A full load at £329 compares to a midi skip at £250–400 in Swanage. But we load it, we're gone the same day, and no skip sits on your drive. For most clear-outs, we're the better option.
