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 Sherborne, from Castleton, Westbury and Oborne, we collect bags of general household waste from your doorstep or driveway — no judgement, no hassle. honey-coloured stone buildings and period properties properties in the area mean some households generate more waste than the fortnightly collections can handle. Historic abbey town with excellent schools. Affluent market town popular with families and retirees. Strong community identity. We sort and recycle what we can, and dispose of the rest responsibly at licensed facilities.

Multiple bags? A half load is £179 — fill half the van with anything.
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.
| Council | TipRun | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular bins | Fortnightly collection (included in council tax) | On-demand from £61 |
| Extra bags | Not collected — side waste policy | Any number of bags |
| Wait time | Next scheduled bin day | Same-day available |
| Collection point | Kerbside on bin day | Doorstep or driveway |
| Mixed waste | Must be sorted by bin type | We sort for you |
You can take bagged rubbish to Blandford Recycling Centre (18 miles from Sherborne), 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.
Historic abbey town with narrow medieval streets. Some properties have limited access for large vehicles. Modern areas on the edge have better access. 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 car parks. Residential areas have on-street parking and some driveways.
From £61. Same-day collection available.
Rubbish removal in Sherborne starts from £61 for 3-5 bin bags. More bags? Just add them as extras or book a half load for a bigger clear-out.
General household rubbish — clothing, books, toys, packaging, old curtains, broken items. No liquids, chemicals, food waste, or hazardous materials.
Not if the bags are accessible — leave them outside your front door or on the driveway and let us know in the booking notes. We'll text you when they're collected.
Yes — we cover all of Sherborne including Castleton, Westbury and Oborne. We're based in Poole, 45 min from Sherborne.
We sort everything at the depot. Recyclables are separated and sent to recycling facilities. The rest goes to licensed waste transfer stations. We recycle as much as possible.
