Rules in Dewsbury

  • A skip on a Dewsbury road needs a Kirklees licence, £32 for up to 14 days.
  • The licence must be applied for at least two working days ahead, or three on a traffic sensitive street.
  • An extended licence keeps the skip on the road for up to 28 days.
  • No skip on a footway or grass verge without the council's written approval first.
  • Only a skip company registered with Kirklees in advance can get the licence.

Getting a skip in Dewsbury

Dewsbury's town centre is ringed by Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets. Stonefield Street has stone terraces and Pyrah Street has red brick ones. If your terrace has no drive, your skip goes on the road under the Kirklees licence, and a 4 yard midi takes up less of the street. Kirklees doesn't allow a skip on the footway or a grass verge without its written approval first. Much of the historic core is in the Dewsbury Conservation Area, with around 280 buildings from before 1939.

East of the centre, Earlsheaton and Chickenley mix older terraces with semis and newer housing. Dewsbury Moor, to the west, has post-war estates alongside its terraces. A house with a drive keeps the skip off the road, so you won't need a licence. An 8 yard large suits a full clear-out. Keep soil and rubble to a 6 yard builders or smaller. For a bag or two of rubble, the Weaving Lane tip off Thornhill Road takes it free. You'll need a Kirklees vehicle permit and a booking first.

In Dewsbury town centre, proposed improvements would take traffic out of the southern section of Northgate, and out of Northgate Road and the inner section of Halifax Road around Pioneer Square. They're plans for now, but give the skip company your exact street if you're clearing a flat or shop there. For a sofa or a few other big items, the Kirklees bulky collection costs £11.66 per item, up to six per order, and can beat a skip.

Questions

Is a council permit needed if my Dewsbury skip goes on the road?
Only on the road. Kirklees Council charges £32 for a licence lasting up to 14 days, and a registered skip company applies at least two working days ahead. A skip on your drive needs nothing. Footways and grass verges need the council's written approval first.
Will a skip fit outside a Pyrah Street terrace in Dewsbury?
A 4 yard midi usually suits it best. Pyrah Street has red brick terraces, and Stonefield Street's are stone. Without a drive, the skip sits on the road under the Kirklees licence, coned and lit after dark by the skip company.
Can WF12 rubble go to the Weaving Lane tip instead of a skip?
For a few bags, the tip is the better choice. The Dewsbury tip on Weaving Lane, off Thornhill Road, takes rubble, soil, bricks and plasterboard free of charge. You'll need a Kirklees vehicle permit and a booking. For a whole patio or wall, a 6 yard builders skip saves the trips.
Brown bin or skip for garden waste in Dewsbury Moor?
For regular clippings, the brown bin wins. Kirklees collects garden waste fortnightly for £56.65 a year. A one-off clearance at a Dewsbury Moor semi or terrace fits a skip better, and a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi handles most tidy-ups.
What does a 6 yard builders skip cost in Dewsbury, WF13?
A 6 yard builders skip costs £275, and sizes run from £120 for a 2 yard mini to £395 for a 12 yard maxi. On the road, add the £32 Kirklees licence for up to 14 days. An extended licence covers up to 28 days.
