Getting a skip in Buxton

In Higher Buxton, Bath Road's tall terraces have little garden or yard space, and parking is on the street. West Road's two-storey terraces have only small front gardens. On streets like these your skip will usually sit on the road, so the skip company gets a Derbyshire County Council permit before delivery. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes up the least room outside a terrace.

Buxton's controlled parking zone covers The Square, Broad Walk, The Quadrant, Eagle Street, Hartington Road and St Johns Road. Eagle Street, Hartington Road, Hall Bank and Water Street keep spaces for resident permit holders from 8am to 8pm, so tell the skip company exactly where you want the skip before you book. Up on Spencer Road and Compton Road, tall three-storey stone houses sit beside two-storey Edwardian ones. If yours has room off the road, a skip there needs no permit.

For a bag or two of rubble, the Waterswallows Road tip takes up to two 25kg sacks per visit each week, and High Peak's bulky collection takes up to four large items for £21. For a bigger strip-out you'll want a skip. Keep soil and rubble to a 6 yard builders or smaller, and go up to an 8 yard large or 12 yard maxi for a light, bulky house clearance.

Other ways to get rid of it in Buxton

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

Fly-tipping in Buxton

402 incidents reported across the High Peak Council area in 2024-25, about 4.4 per 1,000 people.

Council-wide figures, not just Buxton.

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Buxton. 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

Is a permit needed for a skip in Buxton, SK17?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your own drive it needs none. On the road, the skip company applies to Derbyshire County Council, which charges £60 for up to 14 days, or 7 days on an A or B road.
Can I have a skip on Eagle Street or Hartington Road, Buxton?
Possibly, but check first. Both streets are in Buxton's controlled parking zone, and their spaces are for resident permit holders from 8am to 8pm. Tell the skip company exactly where the skip will stand, as it applies for the road permit and needs the location.
What size skip suits a Bath Road terrace in Higher Buxton?
A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi usually fits best. Bath Road's tall terraces have little garden or yard space and parking is on the street, so the skip will normally go on the road under a permit. For a refit with heavy rubble, stay at 6 yard builders or smaller.
Is Waterswallows tip better than a skip for SK17 rubble?
For two sacks or fewer, the tip wins. Waterswallows Road takes up to 50kg of rubble, soil or turf per visit each week, about two 25kg sacks. A bathroom or patio job makes far more, so a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip suits that better.
What does High Peak charge to take old furniture from Buxton?
High Peak charges £21 to collect up to four items, with a small charge for each extra one. In busy periods the next date can be a few weeks away. If you're also clearing a room or need it gone sooner, a skip may suit better.
