Sometimes the council bins just aren't enough. After a clear-out, a room refresh, or when things have simply piled up, you need someone to take the bags away. In Dorchester, from Poundbury, Fordington and Prince of Wales, we collect bags of general household waste from your doorstep or driveway — no judgement, no hassle. mix of period townhouses and Poundbury new builds properties in the area mean some households generate more waste than the fortnightly collections can handle. County town of Dorset. Mix of professionals, retirees, and families. Poundbury is a modern planned development with new-build homes. We sort and recycle what we can, and dispose of the rest responsibly at licensed facilities.

Dorset Council provides fortnightly bin collections, but there's a limit to what fits in your wheelie bin. Extra bags left beside the bin won't be collected. Their bulky waste service covers furniture but not bagged rubbish. If your bins are full and the next collection is a week away, TipRun fills the gap.

| Regular bins | Fortnightly collection (included in council tax) | On-demand from £61 |
| Extra bags | Not collected — side waste policy | Any number of bags |

You can take bagged rubbish to Dorchester Recycling Centre (1.0 mile from Dorchester), but you'll need to sort it into the right skips — general waste, recycling, wood, metal. It's free for household waste but Dorset address proof required. Loading your car with bin bags isn't ideal, and the smell lingers. A TipRun collection saves you the trip and the clean-up.
Fordington has narrow streets. Poundbury has wide, well-planned access. Town centre properties can be tricky for large items due to narrow doorways. For rubbish removal, leave bags at the front door, driveway, or garage. Bin bags, rubble bags, or cardboard boxes — whatever you've got. No need to be home if the bags are accessible. Town centre has pay-and-display and limited short-stay. Poundbury has ample parking. Residential areas have mostly on-street.
From £61. Same-day collection available.
