Rules in Blackpool

  • Blackpool Council's skip permit costs £50 per week, and the skip company applies, not you.
  • A Blackpool skip licence lasts 7 days at most, so tell the skip company if you need longer.
  • Placing a skip without a licence brings a higher retrospective licence fee for each week.
  • Around St John's Square, delivery vehicles may only enter between 6.00pm and 10.30am.
  • No parking is allowed at any time on the Promenade between Talbot Square, North Pier and New Bonny Street.

Getting a skip in Blackpool

About a fifth of Blackpool's homes are terraces built before 1920. In Foxhall, York Street has three-storey terraces, and Singleton Street, Caroline Street and Shannon Street are tightly built rows of lodging houses and workers' housing. Adelaide Street, in the wider town centre, has terraces of homes and boarding houses. If your terrace has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road and the skip company applies for the £50 weekly permit. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the road than a bigger skip.

In Blackpool town centre, St John's Square, Cedar Square, Birley Street and parts of Church Street and Abingdon Street are closed to general traffic. Delivery vehicles can only get in between 6.00pm and 10.30am, and there are no parking bays on these streets, so agree the drop-off time and spot with the skip company before you book. On the Promenade between Talbot Square, North Pier and New Bonny Street, no parking is allowed at any time. If you live in the Whitegate Drive resident parking scheme, on streets such as Kensington Road or Westmorland Avenue, check the spot with the skip company too.

Further out, Blackpool's homes built between the wars are mainly semis, and Grange Park in the north and Mereside in the south are the two big council estates. If your semi has a drive, the skip can sit there with no permit. For a small DIY job, the Bristol Avenue tip in Bispham takes two 50L rubble sacks a week from residents, up to 75 kg a month. It won't take waste from a large renovation, so for a bigger strip-out, a 6 yard builders skip handles the rubble.

Other ways to get rid of it in Blackpool

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

Fly-tipping in Blackpool

5,053 incidents reported across the Blackpool Council area in 2024-25, about 35 per 1,000 people.

Council-wide figures, not just Blackpool.

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Blackpool. Whoever takes your waste, make sure they’re a licensed waste carrier. The skip companies on this site all are.

By law you’re responsible for your waste even after it’s collected. If it’s dumped and traced back to you, you can be fined.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Blackpool?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your own drive it needs none. For the road, the skip company applies to Blackpool Council, not you, and the licence costs £50 per week, lasting 7 days at most.
Can I have a skip near St John's Square in Blackpool?
It depends on timing and space. Only buses, taxis and authorised vehicles can drive in the restricted area around St John's Square, and delivery vehicles may enter between 6.00pm and 10.30am. The streets there have no parking bays, so agree a drop-off time and spot with the skip company first.
What size skip suits a Foxhall terrace on York Street?
A 4 yard midi is a good start. York Street in Foxhall has three-storey terraces, and if yours has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road at £50 per week. Pick a 6 yard builders skip if the job is mostly rubble.
Is Blackpool's bulky collection better than a skip for three items?
For up to three large items, it usually is. Blackpool Council collects them for a minimum charge of £21. With more than a few items, or loose rubbish as well, a skip from £125 takes everything in one go.
Can Blackpool's Bristol Avenue tip take my DIY rubble?
A little of it. Blackpool residents can bring two 50L rubble sacks a week, up to 75 kg a month, with photo ID and proof of address. Vans need a permit and can't come at weekends. Construction waste from a large renovation isn't accepted, so a 6 yard builders skip suits a bigger strip-out.
