Rules in Colne

  • The Lancashire County Council skip permit costs £42 per 28 days.
  • A permit lasts 28 days at most, so a longer job needs a fresh application.
  • The skip company gives two working days' notice, and the council aims to reply within 24 hours.
  • With approval a skip can sit on a verge, pavement or road, but on the pavement it needs a continuous fence.
  • On the road, a skip needs at least four traffic cones in a line on the approach side.

Getting a skip in Colne

In Colne, the late Victorian and Edwardian terraces on Keighley Road vary. Some sit behind front gardens with stone walls, while those on the south side front the pavement directly. If yours fronts the pavement, your skip goes on the road under a Lancashire County Council permit, which the skip company arranges. Albert Road, west of the town centre, has larger terraced and semi-detached houses with small front gardens and rear yards. A 4 yard midi is easier to fit there than a big skip.

On Mabel Street and Grosvenor Street, the smaller mill workers' terraces have cobbled streets, a service road at the back and parking on the street. Your skip will sit on the road, and a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi leaves more room for cars. Terraces along Skipton Road, Glen Street and North Street rely on street parking too. Colne has residents' parking zones such as C1 and C2, so tell the skip company your zone when you book.

Colne's outer estates, including the large ones north of the town centre, have semi-detached houses and short rows with their own front and rear gardens. If you've room off the road, an 8 yard large suits a garage or garden clear-out with no permit needed. For a sofa or a bed, Pendle's bulky waste collection is free, though slots are limited. A few bags of DIY waste can go to Burnley tip on Balderstone Lane, which opens every day.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Colne?
Only if it goes on the road, pavement or verge. A skip on your own drive needs none. Lancashire County Council charges £42 per 28 days, and the skip company applies with two working days' notice.
Where does a skip go on Mabel Street or Grosvenor Street?
Usually on the road. These smaller mill workers' terraces have cobbled streets, a service road at the back and parking on the street. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi leaves more room for neighbours' cars, and the skip company arranges the Lancashire permit.
Will Pendle Council take an old sofa from my Colne home?
It will, and Pendle's bulky waste collection is free. Slots are limited, so book ahead. For a few large items it beats a skip. A skip makes more sense when the furniture comes with bags of mixed rubbish or a room's worth of clearing.
Which tip near Colne is open seven days a week?
Burnley, on Balderstone Lane, opens every day from 9am to 5pm and suits a few bags from a small job. Barnoldswick on West Close Road opens Thursday to Monday, and vans there need an appointment.
Can I have a skip on Albert Road in Colne?
Usually, with the skip on the road. Albert Road's larger terraced and semi-detached houses have small front gardens and rear yards, so a skip may not fit off the street. The skip company gets the Lancashire permit, and a 4 yard midi sits more neatly at the kerb.
