Getting a skip in Burnley

In Harle Syke, Burnley's conservation area of old mill workers' terraced cottages, parking is on the street. Queen Street, Church Street, Duke Street and Briercliffe Road have long rows of 14 to 16 houses with no space off the road. Your skip goes on the road there, under a permit the skip company arranges. A 4 yard midi takes less of the kerb outside a two-storey terrace. Harrison Street's 1920s semis have small front gardens, so measure before you book anything bigger.

Burnley Wood is a different job. Brooklands Road and Todmorden Road have large stone 19th century houses, spaced well apart. If yours has room off the road, a skip on your own land needs no permit, and an 8 yard large suits clearing a bigger house. Closer in, much of Burnley's housing is pre-1919 two-bedroom sandstone terraces, like those around Gordon Street Mill, where parking is on the street. There, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi on the road is often enough for one room.

Not every job in Burnley needs a skip. Burnley Council's bulky waste collection takes 1 to 4 items for £16, which beats a skip for a wardrobe and a table. The Balderstone Lane tip is open every day, but a van or trailer needs an appointment. For a kitchen strip-out or a house clearance, a 6 yard builders or 12 yard maxi takes everything in one load.

Other ways to get rid of it in Burnley

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

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Burnley. 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 Burnley?
Only if it goes on the road, pavement or verge. Lancashire County Council issues the permit at £42 for up to 28 days, and the skip company applies with two working days' notice. A skip on your own drive needs nothing.
Can I have a skip on Queen Street in Harle Syke?
You can, with the skip on the road under a permit. Queen Street's long terraced rows in Harle Syke have parking on the street, so there's no drive to use. The skip must sit parallel to the road edge, and a 4 yard midi leaves more room for parked cars.
How can I clear a wardrobe and table in BB12 without a skip?
Book Burnley Council's bulky waste collection. It takes 1 to 4 items for £16, though white goods and upholstered furniture aren't covered by that price. A skip makes more sense once you're also clearing a whole room or the garden.
Can I take a van of rubbish to Balderstone Lane in Burnley?
You can, but book first. Vans and trailers need an appointment at the Burnley recycling centre, and one booking covers a van or a trailer, not both. It's open 9am to 5pm every day. Trade waste isn't accepted there.
Does a skip on the road in Burnley need lights at night?
It does. From half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise, a skip on the verge or road without cones needs a lamp fixed to each corner. On the road, at least four cones sit in a slanted line on its approach side. The skip company provides them.
