Rules in Failsworth

  • Oldham Council's road permit costs £47 and covers 28 days.
  • For longer than 28 days, the skip company has to make a fresh application.
  • The skip can't go on the road until Oldham Council has actually issued the permit.
  • Skips aren't normally allowed on pavements or grass verges, and a deposit may be due if they are.
  • A skip on the road needs at least four traffic cones on the approach side.

Getting a skip in Failsworth

In Failsworth centre and Hollinwood, the Victorian terraces from the 1870s and 1880s have parking on the street and little outdoor space. Hale Lane is mainly terraced houses, and William Street has terraces too. With no drive, your skip goes on the road, and the skip company gets Oldham Council's permit before it arrives. A 4 yard midi takes less of the kerb and suits a room clear-out. Near the Propps Hall Drive roundabout, where it meets Stott Street and Poplar Street, the council has proposed no waiting at any time lines, so keep the skip clear of that junction.

The 1960s and 70s semis on Failsworth's streets either side of the A62 Manchester Road have wider roads and more off-street parking. If yours has a drive, the skip sits there and needs no permit. In Limeside and Woodhouses, check whether your 1930s semi has space off the street before you book. For heavy soil or rubble from a patio job, stay at a 6 yard builders skip or smaller. Garden waste alone can go in your green bin with food waste, at no yearly charge.

For one or two large items, Oldham's bulky collection at £10 per item is simpler than a skip. Arkwright Street Recycling Centre in OL9 also takes bulky waste seven days a week if you have a car. For a whole room or more, an 8 yard large holds far more than a car boot. Back in Failsworth, the council has proposed making the lower end of Lord Street and High Street pedestrian only, so ask the skip company about access if you live nearby.

Questions

Will my Failsworth skip need a road permit from Oldham?
Only if it goes on the road. A skip on your own drive needs none. On the street, Oldham Council's permit costs £47 for 28 days, and the council issues it only to registered skip companies, so yours applies for it.
Is a 4 yard midi right for a Hale Lane terrace in Failsworth?
For a room clear-out it usually is. Hale Lane is mainly terraced houses, and Failsworth's older terraces have parking on the street and little outdoor space. Your skip goes on the road, and a 4 yard midi takes up less of it. It won't normally be allowed on the pavement.
What does Oldham's bulky collection cost per item in Failsworth?
£10 per item, with no extra charge for specific items. For one or two large pieces from a Failsworth home, that can work out less than a skip. With a room's worth, compare it against £130 for a 2 yard mini or £215 for a 4 yard midi.
Can Arkwright Street take bulky waste from Failsworth instead of a skip?
It can. Arkwright Street Recycling Centre in OL9 takes bulky waste and is open seven days a week. That suits a carload or two from a Failsworth clear-out. If you'd need several trips, or you have no car, a skip saves the driving.
Can a skip go near the Propps Hall Drive roundabout in Failsworth?
Keep it clear of the junction itself. The council has proposed no waiting at any time restrictions where Propps Hall Drive meets Stott Street and Poplar Street, to stop parking at the roundabout. Further along the road, the skip needs Oldham's permit and four cones on the approach side.
