Getting rid of an old sofa in Bournemouth shouldn't mean wrestling it down the stairs and hiring a van. With Edwardian and Victorian semi-detached common across the area — from Boscombe, Winton and Charminster — narrow hallways and tight doorways are par for the course. We collect sofas of any size from your ground floor, load them onto our van, and take them away. Mix of students near the university and retirees along the East Cliff and Southbourne. High turnover rental market in Boscombe and Winton. That means we see everything from rental turnovers to family home upgrades. Reusable sofas go to local charities. Everything else is recycled responsibly — Bournemouth has the highest volume of bulky waste bookings in the BCP area, partly driven by the student population — end-of-tenancy clear-outs peak every June and September.
While the van's there: add a mattress (£40), bed frame (£35), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag)

Your sofa + call-out = £114 total. A half load is £179 — just £65 more to clear the whole room.
BCP Council offers a bulky waste collection at £37.50 for up to 3 items, but you'll wait 2–3 weeks. Items must be left at the kerbside by 6:30am on collection day. No access to the property. Online booking only. With TipRun, we collect same-day or next-day from inside your home — not just the kerbside.

Millhams Recycling Centre is 3.2 miles from central Bournemouth. You can take a sofa there, but you'll need a van or trailer — and that means applying for a free permit at least 5 working days in advance. Saturday mornings are the busiest time, so expect queues. Van/trailer permit required (free, apply online). Most people find it easier to book a TipRun collection — we pick up from your door and save you the trip.
Lots of flats above shops on Old Christchurch Road and in Boscombe. Many converted Victorian houses with narrow stairwells. Westbourne properties often have rear lane access. For sofa removal specifically, please make sure we can get the sofa through your front door or have it outside ready. If the sofa came in through the door, it'll come out the same way. Resident permit zones across BH1–BH3 and parts of Winton. Pay-and-display near the town centre. Most suburban streets have free on-street parking.
“Booked online at 9am, sofa was gone by lunch. Brilliant service.”

Sofa removal in Bournemouth starts from £65. That covers collection from your ground floor, loading, and responsible disposal. Corner sofas and sofa beds are the same price.
Ground floor collection is included in the price. If your sofa is upstairs, give us a call — we can usually manage it for a small extra charge depending on the staircase.
If it's in decent condition, we donate it to local charities in the Bournemouth area. Damaged or worn sofas are taken to licensed recycling facilities where materials are separated and recycled.
