Collection and drop-off

Horse rug collection, every Tuesday.

Book by Monday lunchtime and the rugs are picked up from your yard the next day. Or bring them to the blue bins at Lepton.

Two ways to get your rugs to us.

Most people book a Tuesday collection from the yard. If you are passing Lepton on a weekday, drop them in the blue bins instead.

How the round works.

Quicker to ask Laura07865 639358

When do you collect?

Every Tuesday. Book by 12pm on the Monday and say whether morning or afternoon suits you better. It is a request rather than a set time, because the round decides the order. You do not need to be in: leave the rugs in a safe place and say where on the booking form.

How long until I get my rugs back?

Within one to two weeks. They come back clean, dry and bagged up.

What does collection cost?

Nothing within 10 miles of the unit in Lepton. From 10 to 15 miles it is £5, and from 15 to 20 miles it is £10.

Can I drop my rugs off instead?

Yes, any weekday from 9am to 4pm. Put them in the blue bins in front of unit 2b at Franklyn Court, Lepton (what3words ///guess.model.scales), and book them in so we know they are yours.

I run a yard. Can you take a big load?

Yes. Individual owners and whole yards are both welcome. Tell us roughly how many rugs when you book.
