Getting a skip in Fareham

In Fareham town centre, many residential streets sit in residents parking schemes, covering 34 roads in 8 areas. Non-residents can't park there without a visitors' permit, so tell the skip company your road when you book. The older streets also have very narrow footways, which leaves little room beside a skip. West Street, the original main street, is pedestrianised, and pedestrians get priority between Quay Street and Harper Way. A 4 yard midi takes up less of a tight street than an 8 yard large.

Osborn Road's Victorian town houses stand in large walled gardens, and Kiln Road and Portchester Road/Downend Road have big villas with mature gardens. If you can place the skip on your own land, you need no permit. On Castle Street in Portchester, the 18th century houses sit on a tight frontage, so a skip there goes on the road under the county permit. The Fareham High Street conservation area covers the historic core, including Union Street and parts of West Street and East Street, so check access with the skip company first.

For a single large item, Fareham Council collects it for £53 on a Monday, booked in advance, which beats a skip for one sofa. Ongoing garden clippings suit the council's garden waste bin at £73 a year. Clearing a big garden on Osborn Road or Kiln Road in one go is a different job. You'll fit far more in a 6 yard builders skip, and soil or rubble from the beds should go in that size or smaller.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Fareham?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. Hampshire County Council's permit costs £78.80 for 7 days and takes 5 clear working days, and the skip company applies for it. A skip on your own drive or garden needs none.
Can a skip go on West Street in Fareham?
Unlikely on the pedestrianised part. Fareham's original main street is pedestrianised, and between Quay Street and Harper Way pedestrians get priority. If you're working near West Street, ask the skip company which nearby road its lorry can reach, and whether the county permit applies there.
Should one old sofa in PO16 go to the council or a skip?
The council, usually. Fareham Council collects one item for £53, fridges and freezers included, on Mondays when booked in advance. Once you have several items or a whole room to clear, compare that with £150 for a 2 yard mini.
Garden bin or skip for a few bags in Fareham, PO14 or PO15?
It depends what's in the bags. Garden cuttings can go in Fareham Council's garden waste bin, at £73 a year, so there's no drive at all. For rubble or a room's worth of clutter, a 2 yard mini at £150 saves you the trips.
What size skip suits Castle Street in Portchester?
A 4 yard midi or smaller is a sensible fit. Castle Street's 18th century houses sit on a tight frontage, so a skip there usually goes on the road under Hampshire County Council's permit, £78.80 for 7 days. A smaller skip takes up less of the village street.
