Rules in Glastonbury

  • A skip on the road needs a Somerset Council licence, at £109 for 28 days.
  • Allow 10 working days for the licence, as only emergency applications go through faster.
  • Keeping the skip on the road past 28 days needs a new application and another £109.
  • Ask for a renewal at least a week before the current licence runs out.
  • The council only issues highway skip licences to accredited contractors, so the skip company applies.

Getting a skip in Glastonbury

Glastonbury's conservation area covers the High Street, the medieval streets around the Abbey and the 19th-century streets around them. On Manor House Road and Norbins Road, the small 1880s cottages rely on parking on the street, as do the terraces off Northload Street and the cottages along Wells Road. With no drive, your skip goes on the road under a permit, which the skip company arranges. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes up less of the street outside a cottage.

Further out, parking is mixed, so some homes have room off the road. That covers the 1920s and 30s houses on Hill Head and Roman Way, the post-war homes on Windmill Hill and the newer housing between Benedict Street and Street Road out to Northover. Check your drive first. A skip on your own drive needs no permit, and an 8 yard large fits a bigger clear-out. Park Terrace on Street Road and the smaller houses on Fisher's Hill have parking on the street, so plan for the road there.

For a few bags of rubble, the Street recycling centre on Farm Lane is often the better bet. It charges per bag and is closed on Thursdays and Fridays, so check its hours before you load the car. Somerset Council's bulky collection takes up to three large items for £82.60. For a full refit in Glastonbury, though, a 6 yard builders skip takes your soil and hardcore in one go.

Other ways to get rid of it in Glastonbury

For one or two items, the council is often cheaper than a skip. Here’s how they compare.

Fly-tipping in Glastonbury

2,830 incidents reported across the Somerset Council area in 2024-25, about 4.8 per 1,000 people.

Council-wide figures, not just Glastonbury.

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Glastonbury. Whoever takes your waste, make sure they’re a licensed waste carrier. The skip companies on this site all are.

By law you’re responsible for your waste even after it’s collected. If it’s dumped and traced back to you, you can be fined.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Glastonbury?
Only if it sits on the road or pavement. On your own drive you need none. For the road, Somerset Council issues a licence for £109 covering 28 days, and only to accredited contractors, so the skip company applies and arranges it.
Is there room for a skip off the road on Norbins Road?
Usually not. The 1880s cottages on Norbins Road and Manor House Road rely on parking on the street, so your skip goes on the road under a licence. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes up the least space there.
Should a few bags of BA6 rubble go to Street tip instead?
For a handful of bags, the tip is the simpler choice. The Street recycling centre on Farm Lane takes rubble and soil at a charge per bag, and it's closed on Thursdays and Fridays. For more than a car boot or two, a 6 yard builders skip at £375 holds the lot.
How do I get rid of a sofa and wardrobe in Glastonbury?
Book Somerset Council's bulky collection, which takes up to three items for £82.60, with a charge for each one after that. If the furniture comes with a room's worth of other clutter, a 4 yard midi at £305 takes the lot.
What if my Glastonbury refit needs the skip beyond 28 days?
You'll need an extension. Past 28 days the licence needs a new application and another £109, and a renewal must reach Somerset Council at least a week before expiry. Tell the skip company early so it can apply in time.
