Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
After a big garden clear-out in Sherborne, you're left with a mountain of green waste, branches, and hedge cuttings that won't fit in your brown bin. With honey-coloured stone buildings and period properties across Castleton, Westbury and Oborne, garden sizes vary — but the pile of waste after a weekend's work is always bigger than expected. We collect from your garden or driveway, load everything onto the van, and take it to a licensed green waste facility. Fortnightly brown bin collection available for subscribers. But if you've just done a major cut-back or your brown bin is already full, a TipRun collection clears the lot in one go. Sherborne is the most northerly town in TipRun’s area. The nearest recycling centre is 18 miles away in Blandford, making professional collection particularly appealing.
Got more than a few bags? A half load is just £179 and fills half the van.
Better value
A few bags + call-out adds up fast. A half load is £179 — might be better value for a big garden job.
Dorset Council offers a garden waste bin subscription at £62/year for fortnightly collections. That works for weekly clippings, but after a hedge trim or tree cut-back you'll fill the bin in minutes. Their bulky waste service doesn't cover loose garden waste. TipRun takes any volume, any time.
| Council | TipRun | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular service | £62/year brown bin (fortnightly) | On-demand from £64 |
| One-off clear-out | Bin only — overflow is your problem | Any volume, same-day |
| Branches & logs | Must fit in the bin | We load loose branches |
| Soil & turf | Not accepted in brown bin | Accepted (bagged preferred) |
| Collection point | Kerbside on bin day | From your garden |
Blandford Recycling Centre (18 miles from Sherborne) has a green waste area. But loading your car with muddy branches and wet grass clippings isn't pleasant — and you'll need multiple trips for any serious amount. Soil is particularly heavy and most cars can only handle a few bags per trip. Dorset address proof required. We save you the mess and the multiple journeys.
Historic abbey town with narrow medieval streets. Some properties have limited access for large vehicles. Modern areas on the edge have better access. For garden waste, we can collect from the front garden, back garden (if accessible via side gate), or driveway. Bagged waste is faster to load, but loose piles are fine too — just show us where it is. Town centre has car parks. Residential areas have on-street parking and some driveways.
From £64. Same-day collection available.
Garden waste removal in Sherborne starts from £64. That covers a van load of green waste — branches, hedge cuttings, grass, weeds. Soil and turf are accepted but bag them if possible as they're heavy.
Yes — bag it up if possible. Loose soil is very heavy and may cost more depending on volume. We'll give you an honest price on site.
We take branches, small logs (under 6ft and liftable), and hedge cuttings. Large tree trunks may need a tree surgeon to section first.
Yes, if we can access it via a side gate or through the house. If access is limited, pile the waste at the front and we'll load from there.
Yes — all garden waste we collect in Sherborne goes to licensed green waste composting facilities. It's turned into compost and soil improver.
