Rules in Devizes
- A skip on the road needs a Wiltshire Council licence, £143.80 for 28 days.
- Give the council 3 working days' notice, or the fast-track licence costs more.
- To keep a skip out past 28 days, a new licence at the same fee is needed first.
- The licence covers only the skip, so no building materials can sit on the road beside it.
- A skip on the road needs at least four cones on the approach side and yellow lamps at night.
Getting a skip in Devizes
In Devizes town centre, New Park Street, Sheep Street and Bridewell Street have short terraces of small houses with a shared yard and no garden, and parking is on the street. With no space off the road, your skip goes on the road under a Wiltshire Council licence, which the skip company applies for. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi suits a clear-out there. Part of Avon Terrace has one-hour parking except for Zone B permit holders, so tell the skip company before you book.
Long Street has big double-fronted houses with large gardens. If your skip fits off the road there, it needs no licence, and an 8 yard large handles a garden makeover. The Brickley Lane area had filled up with housing by 1967, and 16 new homes are now going up at Brickley Lane and Drakes Avenue. A 6 yard builders suits rubble from a patio or extension there. In the Victoria Road Quarter Conservation Area, changes to windows and doors need prior approval before your refit starts.
For a few bags of household waste, the Devizes tip at Hopton Industrial Estate on London Road can beat a skip. You must book a visit first, and it's closed on Thursday and Friday. For regular hedge and lawn cuttings, Wiltshire's garden bin at £75 a year may suit you better. For a full clear-out or a refit, a skip saves you the trips.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Devizes?
- Only if it goes on the road. A skip on your drive or in your garden needs none. On the road, the skip company buys a Wiltshire Council licence at £143.80 for 28 days, and the council needs 3 working days' notice.
- Will a skip fit outside my New Park Street terrace in Devizes?
- Usually on the road rather than on your land. The short terraces on New Park Street, Sheep Street and Bridewell Street have a shared yard and no garden, with parking on the street. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes up the least road space.
- Is the London Road tip better than a skip for SN10 bags?
- For a few bags, often. The Devizes tip at Hopton Industrial Estate takes household waste, but you must book a visit and it's closed on Thursday and Friday. A van or large trailer needs a permit, and trade waste isn't allowed. Bigger loads are easier in a skip.
- Does the Zone B parking on Avon Terrace affect a Devizes skip?
- It can. Part of Avon Terrace's north side has one-hour parking Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, except for Zone B permit holders. Tell the skip company before you book, as the skip still needs a Wiltshire Council licence to sit on the road.
- Will one road licence cover a six-week Devizes extension?
- Not on its own. A Wiltshire Council licence lasts 28 days, so the skip company applies for a new one at the same £143.80 fee before the first runs out. A skip can't stay on the road after its licence ends without the council's written agreement.
