Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
Getting rid of an old sofa in Wimborne shouldn't mean wrestling it down the stairs and hiring a van. With detached houses with garages and large gardens common across the area — from Wimborne Minster, Colehill and Merley — 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. Affluent market town with families and retirees. Larger properties mean more garden waste and furniture clearances. That means we see everything from rental turnovers to family home upgrades. Reusable sofas go to local charities. Everything else is recycled responsibly — Wimborne falls under Dorset Council, not BCP — which means different bulky waste pricing and longer wait times compared to Bournemouth and Poole.
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.
Dorset Council offers a bulky waste collection at £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6), but you'll wait up to 4 weeks. Online booking only. Items must be at the property boundary. Maximum 6 items per booking. With TipRun, we collect same-day or next-day from inside your home — not just the kerbside.

Wimborne Recycling Centre is 1.8 miles from central Wimborne. 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. Proof of Dorset address required. Most people find it easier to book a TipRun collection — we pick up from your door and save you the trip.
Generally good access with driveways. Some older properties in Wimborne Minster have narrow lanes. Corfe Mullen has newer estates with wide roads. 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. Mostly free on-street parking. Town centre has short-stay car parks. Residential areas have driveways.
From £65. Same-day collection available.
Sofa removal in Wimborne 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 Wimborne area. Damaged or worn sofas are taken to licensed recycling facilities where materials are separated and recycled.

We offer same-day collection in Wimborne when slots are available. Book before noon for the best chance of a same-day slot. Next-day is almost always available.
