Getting a skip in Bicester
In Bicester, the Priory Road, London Road and Victoria Road area is mostly terraced houses from the late Victorian and Edwardian years. On Priory Road the terraces sit close together behind small front walls, so your skip will usually go on the road. The skip company applies for a 7 day licence at £125, at least five working days ahead. A 4 yard midi suits a terrace refit. North Street and St John's Street in Crockwell are rows of small terraced houses too, so plan for the road there as well.
Bicester's historic core is a conservation area and covers much of the town's shopping centre. Sheep Street there is a pedestrian zone, open to permit holders at any time and to loading only outside core shopping hours. If you're clearing a flat or shop on that street, ask the skip company where a skip can stand before you book. For a few bags of rubble or soil, Ardley Fields tip charges by the 20 litre bag, which can cost less than a skip. You'll need to book your visit first.
On Bicester's newer estates at Kingsmere, Elmsbrook and Graven Hill, parking is mixed, so check you have a drive before you book. A skip on your own drive needs no licence. Graven Hill is a self-build site still under construction, and a 6 yard builders is the size for brick and soil rubble. If you only have a sofa and a couple of other big items, Cherwell's collection takes any three for £35.50.

Questions
- Is a permit needed for a skip outside my Bicester home?
- Only if it sits on the road or pavement, since a skip on your own drive needs none. The skip company gets the Oxfordshire licence at £125 for 7 days, applying five working days ahead. A road skip placed without one draws a non-compliance fine plus an hourly enforcement charge.
- Can a skip go on Sheep Street in Bicester town centre?
- Probably not during the day. Sheep Street is a pedestrian zone, so vehicles get in only with a permit, or to load outside core shopping hours. If you're clearing a flat or shop there, talk to the skip company about where the lorry can stop before you book.
- Should a few bags of Bicester rubble go to Ardley Fields instead?
- For a handful of bags, the tip is the better choice. Ardley Fields on Brackley Road charges per 20 litre bag of rubble or soil, and you must book your visit. Past a couple of car loads, a 2 yard mini at £145 saves the trips.
- Is Cherwell's bulky collection worth it for three items in OX26?
- It suits three big items with nothing else. Cherwell collects any three items for £35.50, so a sofa, bed and wardrobe go without a skip or a road licence. If you're also clearing a room of bags and boxes, a 4 yard midi at £245 takes the lot.
- Should Kingsmere garden cuttings go in a Cherwell bin or a skip?
- The bin suits regular hedge and lawn cuttings. Cherwell's garden waste subscription is £59 for the year from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027. For a one-off Kingsmere garden clearance with soil or old paving, a 6 yard builders skip is the better fit.
