Rules in Burntwood
- Staffordshire County Council's permit costs £42 for up to 14 days, or 7 days on a classified road.
- Allow up to 5 working days for the council to issue the permit.
- A fast-track application needs at least 3 days' notice and carries an extra charge.

- You don't apply for the road permit yourself, as Staffordshire County Council takes applications only from the company delivering your skip.
Getting a skip in Burntwood
In Chasetown, Burntwood, the red-brick Victorian worker terraces and bay-fronted houses line High Street, Church Street and Queen Street. If your terrace has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road and the skip company applies for the county permit, which can take 5 working days. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the road. High Street closes between Edwards Road and the Queen Street roundabout from 4pm to 9:30pm on 26 November 2026 for the Christmas lights, so avoid that evening for delivery or collection.
In Chase Terrace, Cannock Road, Princess Street and Ironstone Road mix traditional semis with mid-century terraces. If your semi has a drive, the skip sits there with no permit. Cannock Road is the A5190, a classified road, so a permit there lasts only 7 days. Its stretch from Water Street to Rugeley Road also closes for Burntwood Market on set days, including 28 November 2026 from 12pm to 8:30pm. In Boney Hay, the brick and rendered homes on Chorley Road, Ogley Hay Road and Oakdene Road sit on sloping heathland, so mention the slope when you book.
For a small job, Burntwood Recycling Centre on Ring Road, Chase Terrace, takes your first two 50-litre bags of rubble or soil free, then charges per bag. That's the better choice for a bag or two from a small repair. For a renovation, a 6 yard builders skip takes heavy rubble and soil in one go. If it's one sofa, Lichfield Council's bulky collection at £20 for the first item beats a skip.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Burntwood?
- Only if it sits on the road. A skip on your drive needs nothing. On the road, the skip company applies to Staffordshire County Council for a £42 permit, lasting up to 14 days, or 7 on a classified road like Cannock Road. Allow 5 working days.
- What size skip suits a Chasetown terrace on Church Street?
- A 4 yard midi takes up less of the road outside the Victorian worker terraces on Church Street, Chasetown. Without space off the street, the skip company gets the county permit at £42 for up to 14 days, or 7 on a classified road. For heavy renovation rubble, stay at a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.
- Is Burntwood Recycling Centre better than a skip for a little rubble?
- For a bag or two it is. The Ring Road centre in Chase Terrace takes your first two 50-litre bags of rubble or soil free, then charges per bag. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays until 27 March 2027. For a room's worth of rubble, a skip saves repeated trips.
- How does Lichfield's bulky collection compare with a skip in Burntwood?
- For one or two large items the council collection makes more sense. Lichfield Council charges £20 for the first item, and a second item costs extra. Once you're clearing a whole room or more, a skip takes everything in one go.
- When is Cannock Road in Burntwood closed for the market?
- From Water Street to Rugeley Road, the A5190 Cannock Road closes to all vehicles for Burntwood Market. Dates include 28 November 2026 from 12pm to 8:30pm, and 11 April, 9 May, 13 June, 11 July, 8 August, 12 September and 10 October 2027, 7am to 4pm. Avoid those days for skip delivery or collection.
