Rules in Blackheath

  • Sandwell Council's road permit costs £48 and lasts up to 10 days.
  • Each renewal adds another 10 days or less, for a further fee.
  • Sandwell Council asks for 3 days' notice for a permit, though it's often issued sooner.
  • Only a registered skip company can apply, and a retrospective licence costs far more.
  • A skip on the footway or verge needs agreed surface protection, such as plywood or battens.

Getting a skip in Blackheath

On Highfield Road in Blackheath, the houses are traditional three-bedroom terraces. Without room at the front, your skip stands on the road, and only the skip company can get Sandwell's permit for it. Uplands Avenue has 1930s houses and Park Street has Victorian ones, so measure your drive before you book. On your own land you need no permit. For a refit's rubble, keep to a 6 yard builders skip or smaller. If the pavement or a grass verge is the only spot, Sandwell may agree to it with plywood or battens underneath.

Causeway and Avenue Road both have a residents' parking zone, so tell the skip company your street when you book. In the town centre, the bus gate between Birmingham Road and Long Lane is for buses, bikes and emergency services only, every hour of the year. A skip lorry can't use it. Cars and vans can still drive through along Market Place, so mention it if you're near the centre.

For two to four bulky items, Sandwell Council's collection at £25.90 is the better choice. For regular hedge and lawn cuttings, the garden waste bin at £40 a year gives up to 20 collections, depending on when you join. Once your Blackheath clear-out mixes furniture with bags of rubble from a refit, a skip makes more sense. Keep soil and hardcore to a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.

Other ways to get rid of it in Blackheath

For one or two items, the council is often cheaper than a skip. Here’s how they compare.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip on Highfield Road, Blackheath B65?
Only if it sits on the road, footway or verge. On your own drive, you need no permit. If your Highfield Road terrace has no space off the street, the skip company gets Sandwell Council's permit at £48 for up to 10 days. The council asks for 3 days' notice.
Can a skip go on Causeway or Avenue Road, Blackheath B65?
Tell the skip company first, because both streets have a residents' parking zone. A skip on the road still needs Sandwell Council's permit, which the company applies for. Kept on your drive, it needs no permit.
Does the Blackheath bus gate between Birmingham Road and Long Lane affect B65 skips?
It does, because the stretch between Birmingham Road and Long Lane is open only to buses, bikes and emergency services, around the clock. Cars and vans can still cross the town centre along Market Place, so tell the skip company where you are.
Is Sandwell's bulky collection better than a skip on Park Street, Blackheath B65?
For two to four large items, usually it is. Sandwell Council charges £25.90 and gives you a provisional date when you start the form. For a full Blackheath clear-out with rubble or garden waste as well, a skip suits the job better.
