Rules in Clitheroe
- A skip on a Lancashire road needs a permit costing £42 for up to 28 days.
- The skip company gives two working days' notice, and the county aims to reply within 24 hours.
- With approval, a skip can go on a grass verge, the pavement or the road, set parallel to the road edge.
- A skip on the pavement must have a continuous fence or barrier around it.
- Each skip on the road needs at least four cones in a slanting line on the approach side.
Getting a skip in Clitheroe
Clitheroe's St Mary's area is late 19th century terraced housing, laid out along Railway Terrace, Waddington Road, Brennand Street and St Mary's Street. If your house there has no space off the street, the skip sits on the road under a Lancashire County Council permit, and the skip company applies for it. A 4 yard midi leaves more of the kerb free for parking and still takes a room clear-out. Heavy rubble goes in a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.
Moor Lane, York Street and King Street are 19th century streets inside the Clitheroe Conservation Area, and the town centre around them has pre-1919 terraced houses. Castle Street has a restricted parking zone along its whole length, so check with the skip company before you plan a skip outside. For a roadside spot in the centre, a 2 yard mini or a 4 yard midi takes up the least room. Give the exact spot when you book, so the permit request matches it.
Not every Clitheroe job needs a skip. A sofa, bed and a couple of chairs can go on Ribble Valley's bulky collection for £21.10, and a few bags fit in the car for the Henthorn Road tip. Once the job grows to a full clear-out of a terrace in St Mary's or Eshton Terrace, an 8 yard large or a 12 yard maxi takes it in one go, and a skip on your own drive needs no permit.

Questions
- Does my Clitheroe skip need a permit from Lancashire?
- Only if it goes on the road, pavement or verge. On your drive or private land it needs none. On the highway, the skip company applies to Lancashire County Council, which charges £42 for up to 28 days and aims to reply within 24 hours.
- Can a skip go on Castle Street in Clitheroe?
- Check with the skip company before you book. A restricted parking zone covers the whole length of Castle Street, and the street closes to traffic and parking from 6am to 6pm on festival day. Keep delivery and collection away from that day.
- How much does the council charge to collect four items in BB7?
- Ribble Valley Council charges £21.10 for up to four items, with each extra item charged on top. It collects within 10 working days of payment. For a sofa, a bed and a couple of chairs, that beats hiring a skip.
- Can I drive a van load to the Clitheroe tip on Henthorn Road?
- You can, but book first. Every van or trailer needs an appointment at Clitheroe Recycling Centre, which opens Friday to Tuesday. One booking covers a van or a trailer, not both, so towing a trailer behind a van won't double your load.
