More than one load? We'll send the lads back — no extra call-out fee.
A half load is our most popular option for room clear-outs and weekend declutters in Ferndown. Half a transit van holds roughly a sofa plus a few bags plus a couple of smaller items — think one room's worth of stuff. 1970s–1990s detached houses on estates across West Moors, Longham and Tricketts Cross often accumulate a room's worth of clutter that needs shifting. Mix and match anything — furniture, bags, appliances, garden waste. We load it all, you don't lift a finger. Suburban family town with many post-war estates. Popular with families upgrading from Bournemouth. West Moors has an older demographic. The half load is the sweet spot between single-item collections and a full van clear-out.

Council Options vs TipRun Half Load in Ferndown
Dorset Council's bulky waste service charges £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6) and each item counts separately. A sofa, a bookcase, and a mattress? That's three separate items. With a TipRun half load, you fill half the van with whatever you want — one price, no item counting.
| Council | TipRun | |
|---|---|---|
| Price for 3 items | £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6) (per booking) | from £179 (half van) |
| Bags of rubbish | Not included | Mix in with furniture |
| Wait time | up to 4 weeks | Same-day available |
| Mix item types | Bulky items only | Anything goes |
| Loading | You — to the kerbside | We load everything |
Multiple Tip Runs vs One Half Load
To shift a half van's worth of stuff to Wimborne Recycling Centre (3.5 miles from Ferndown), you'd need 3-4 car trips. That's a full morning gone — loading, driving, unloading, sorting into the right skips, driving back, repeating. Proof of Dorset address required. One TipRun half load collection takes about 30 minutes and costs less than the fuel and time for multiple tip trips.
Access & Parking in Ferndown
Wide estate roads with good van access. Most properties have front driveways or garages. West Moors has some older bungalow rows with tighter access. For half load collections, we'll need clear access to everything being collected. Have items gathered in one area where possible — front garden, driveway, garage, or one room. Residential estates with driveways. Free on-street parking throughout. No permit zones.
“Quick, friendly, and affordable. Mattress and bed frame gone. They even swept up after.”

Frequently asked questions
How much fits in a half load in Ferndown?
Half a transit van — roughly a sofa plus 5-6 bags plus a couple of small items. Think: one room's worth of stuff. If you're unsure, send us photos and we'll tell you if it's a half or full load.
Can I mix different types of waste?
Yes — that's the beauty of a half load. Furniture, bin bags, small appliances, garden waste, boxes. Mix anything in. We sort and recycle at the other end.
What if it's more than half a van?
We'll tell you on site. You can upgrade to a full load (from £220) and just pay the difference. No nasty surprises — we agree the price before we start loading.
How quickly can you do a half load in Ferndown?
Same-day slots are often available in Ferndown. Book before noon for the best chance. We're based in Poole, 14 min from Ferndown.
Is a half load cheaper than skip hire?
Usually yes. A mini skip in Ferndown costs £200–350, sits on your drive for days, and you still load it yourself. A TipRun half load is from £179, we do the loading, and we're gone in 30 minutes.
