Rules in Bacup

  • Lancashire County Council's road permit costs £42 and lasts up to 28 days.
  • The skip company gives the council two working days' notice, and the council aims to reply within 24 hours.
  • Past 4 weeks, the skip company must make a separate application to the county's highways team.
  • With approval, a skip can stand on a verge, footway or road, parallel to and close to the carriageway edge.
  • On a footway the skip needs a continuous fence around it, and on the road at least four cones.

Getting a skip in Bacup

Bacup's older housing is stone-built terraces from the late 18th and early 19th century, and the town centre has densely packed Victorian terraces too. If your terrace has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road under Lancashire County Council's permit, which the skip company arranges. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the kerb than an 8 yard large. On St James Street in the town centre, the two-storey stone buildings have shops on the ground floor and homes above. Tell the skip company if you live there, so it can plan where the skip stands.

On Irwell Terrace, an access-only driving order and no waiting at any time apply, so mention the street when you book and let the skip company check what's allowed. Away from the centre, some Bacup homes have room off the road. Semis on Blackthorn Crescent come with off-road parking, and Clover Street semis have front and side gardens. A skip on your own drive needs no permit, and an 8 yard large suits a loft or garden clear-out there.

For a small bathroom job, Haslingden tip takes plaster and plasterboard from small DIY projects free, though a van or trailer needs an appointment. Rossendale Council collects up to three bulky items for £20, which can beat a skip for a few large pieces. For soil or rubble from a bigger Bacup job, book a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.

Questions

Do I need a permit to put a skip outside my Bacup home?
Only if it goes on the road, footway or verge. Then the skip company gets Lancashire County Council's permit, £42 for up to 28 days, giving two working days' notice. A skip on your drive or other private land in Bacup needs none.
Can I have a skip on Irwell Terrace in Bacup?
Check with the skip company first. Irwell Terrace is adopted highway with a prohibition of driving except for access and no waiting at any time. Give the street name when you book, so the skip company can see what the permit allows there.
Where can plasterboard offcuts from a small Bacup DIY job go?
Haslingden recycling centre takes plaster and plasterboard from small-scale DIY projects free of charge. A van or trailer needs an appointment first, and one booking covers a van or a trailer, not both.
Three old pieces of furniture in OL13: skip or council collection?
The council collection usually suits a few items. Rossendale Council takes up to three bulky items for £20, including white goods and electricals, with each extra item charged on top. Once you're clearing a whole room as well, a skip holds more.
Should regular garden clippings in Bacup, OL13, go in a skip?
For regular clippings, Rossendale Council's garden waste bin is £50 a year for one bin, collected fortnightly from March to the end of November. A skip suits a one-off garden clearance instead.
