Getting a skip in Didcot
If you've just moved into one of the 3,300 homes planned at Didcot's Great Western Park, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes the moving boxes and a first garden tidy. Station Road is different. Its 19th century railway workers' houses, between the station and Broadway, only have parking on the street, as do the two-storey homes south of Broadway. A skip outside one of those goes on the road. The skip company applies for the county licence at least five working days before your start date, so book with that in mind.
Parking controls cover much of central Didcot, so tell the skip company your street when you book. Church Street, High Street, Kynaston Road and Wessex Road have lengths for residents' permit holders only, Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm. Britwell Road, Manor Road and Lydalls Road have permit holder sections from 8am to 8pm every day. Near Willowcroft and St Birinus schools, a school street is proposed on Abbott Road, Glebe Road and Ridgeway Road for the morning and afternoon school runs.
For small jobs, the tip or the council can beat a skip. Drayton tip, on Steventon Road, takes bricks and rubble for a charge per 20-litre bag, but you must book a visit. South Oxfordshire collects up to three large items for £62.50. For a whole refit, such as a Victorian terraced cottage on Church Street in Northbourne, a 6 yard builders skip takes the rubble in one go.

Questions
- Is a permit needed for a skip in Didcot, OX11?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your own drive it needs none. On the road, the skip company applies to Oxfordshire County Council at least five working days ahead, and the licence costs £125 for 7 days.
- Can a skip go on Kynaston Road in Didcot?
- Tell the skip company before it plans the spot. Kynaston Road has lengths for residents' permit holders only, Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm. Part of it, between Mereland Road and Ridgeway Road, is also in the proposed school street for the morning and afternoon school runs.
- Should a few bags of OX11 rubble go to Drayton tip instead?
- For a car boot or two, the tip usually makes more sense. Drayton, on Steventon Road, charges for bricks and rubble per 20-litre bag, and you need to book a visit first. For more than that, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi saves the trips.
- Is the bulky collection better than a skip for a Didcot sofa?
- For up to three large items, usually. South Oxfordshire collects them for £62.50, and you choose a date when you book. If no dates show, they are all full. With more than three items or mixed rubbish, a skip clears it in one go.
