Everything gets sorted, not just dumped

We go through it item by item. Every single thing ends up on one of five piles, and only the last one goes to the tip.

  1. Keep

    Anything you want to keep. We can take it home, or to your new place, in the same van.

  2. Sell

    Items with value. We can knock it off your disposal rate, or in some cases buy it outright.

  3. Charity

    Usable things go to local charities instead of the tip.

  4. Recycle

    Metal, electricals, cardboard and timber, separated for recycling.

  5. Tip

    Only what's genuinely rubbish, to licensed sites.

How a storage clearance works

  1. 1

    Send photos

    A few photos of the unit and the site address. We reply with a price before anything moves.

  2. 2

    We sort it, item by item

    Everything comes out and goes on one of the five piles. Be there if you like; if not, we message you photos of anything you need to decide on.

  3. 3

    You agree the piles

    We talk you through what has value. It comes off your price, or we make you an offer for it.

  4. Hand back the key

    The unit is left empty and you stop paying rent on it.

Units, containers, garages and lock-ups

  • Self-storage units

    Sorted and emptied, ready to hand back the key.

  • Storage containers

    Shipping and yard containers, however packed.

  • Garages

    Years of boxes, tools and furniture, sorted so you can park again.

  • Lock-ups

    Rented lock-ups and garage blocks.

Why people call TipRun

Straight answers to the things people worry about before they book.

  • Instant call back

    Enquire and we call you straight back. No forms that vanish, no waiting days.

  • Same day when we have space

    Need it today? Ask us, and we will tell you straight away if we can fit it in.

  • Price before we load

    You get the price first and approve it. If the job is bigger than the photo, we tell you before we start.

  • We do all the lifting

    Upstairs, down the garden, out of the loft. You point, we carry.

  • Licensed and insured

    Licensed waste carrier, fully insured. Your waste goes to licensed sites, receipts on request.

  • Easy to pay

    Card or bank transfer. No deposit until the price is agreed.

  • Friendly local team

    You talk to the people who turn up, not a call centre. Based in Poole and Bournemouth.

  • Tipper and large panel van

    Heavy rubble, bulky furniture, awkward access. The right vehicle for the job.

Common questions

Do I need to be there?

No. Many people aren't. We message you photos of anything you might want to keep or that looks valuable, and nothing goes without your say.

What happens to valuable items?

We set them aside and talk you through them. We can negotiate a discount on the disposal rate, and in some cases we buy items from you outright.

Where do usable items go?

Where we can, usable items go to local charities or on to reuse instead of the tip.

What if it's all junk?

Then you just pay the price we agreed from your photos, and it goes to licensed sites. We'll be straight with you about what's worth something.

Can you bring the things I keep home?

Yes. We can drop the keep pile at your house on the same run. Tell us the address when you send photos.

What about the storage site's access hours?

Tell us the site and unit number and we'll work within its access hours.

Ready to hand back the key?

Send photos of the unit and we'll price the sort and clear.

Rather we called you?

Leave your number and postcode. We will ring you about the unit.

No payment needed — we'll only use this to call you back about your TipRun quote.
