Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
Getting rid of an old sofa in Wareham shouldn't mean wrestling it down the stairs and hiring a van. With mix of older stone cottages and modern estates common across the area — from Sandford, Stoborough and Holton Heath — 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. Historic market town at the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck. Mix of retirees and commuters. Seasonal population boost from tourism. That means we see everything from rental turnovers to family home upgrades. Reusable sofas go to local charities. Everything else is recycled responsibly — Wareham is the furthest west of TipRun’s original core area, but the A351 gives quick access. The local recycling centre is small and often has queues.
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.

Wareham Recycling Centre is 1.2 miles from central Wareham. 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. Dorset address proof required. Most people find it easier to book a TipRun collection — we pick up from your door and save you the trip.
Town centre has narrow medieval streets. Newer estates on the outskirts have good access. Upton and Lytchett Matravers have standard suburban 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. Free parking on most streets. Town centre has a pay-and-display car park. Stoborough and Sandford have narrow rural lanes.
From £65. Same-day collection available.
