  • Only licensed skip companies can apply, so the skip company arranges the licence for you.

Getting a skip in Grantham

South of Grantham town centre, Spittlegate and New Somerby have late Victorian and Edwardian brick terraced houses on a tight street layout. If yours has no drive, your skip goes on the road under a county licence, and a 4 yard midi leaves more room for parked cars. Station Road East, Railway Terrace, Norton Street and William Street are in the resident permit zone, which runs Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm. Tell the skip company your street when you book.

North of the centre, North Parade, Brook Street and Manthorpe Road are in the Grantham Conservation Area, with older terraced and large detached houses. South of St Catherine's Road down to Granville Street, the St Anne's Conservation Area has late Victorian and Edwardian homes. Barrowby Road is lined with big Victorian and Edwardian houses. Where you have room on a drive, an 8 yard large handles a full clear-out without any road licence. The Grantham recycling centre takes just one small dustbin of rubble, soil, hardcore and plasterboard per vehicle per day, so a 6 yard builders skip suits a bathroom or patio job.

The Harrowby and Cherry Orchard estates were built just after the war on garden city lines, and Green Hill is a large 1980s estate. If your house there has a drive, your skip sits on it with no road licence. On the Earlesfield estate, 21 new council homes are going up on Larch Close. For a single sofa or wardrobe, South Kesteven's bulky waste collection at £21 for the first item is simpler than a skip. For a garage or loft clear-out, a 4 yard midi is a sensible start.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Grantham?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. On a Grantham road, the skip company gets a Lincolnshire County Council licence at £84 for up to 14 days, applying at least five working days ahead.
Can a skip go on Railway Terrace in Grantham's permit zone?
Railway Terrace is inside Grantham's resident permit zone, which applies Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm, excluding bank holidays. Any skip on the road needs a Lincolnshire County Council licence first. Tell the skip company your street when you book.
Will Grantham recycling centre on Alexandra Road take my bathroom rubble?
Only for a little. Grantham recycling centre takes one small dustbin of hardcore, rubble, soil and plasterboard per vehicle per day in total, and it's shut on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Vans need a tip permit too. For a whole bathroom, a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip is simpler.
Should one wardrobe from Earlesfield go to South Kesteven's bulky collection?
For one or two items, the collection is the simpler choice. South Kesteven charges £21 for the first bulky item and a smaller amount for each one after. Once you've a room of furniture plus bags of rubbish, a 4 yard midi takes the lot in one go.
Is North Parade in Grantham inside a conservation area?
It is. North Parade, Brown Street, Brook Street, Manthorpe Road, Gladstone Terrace, Albion Road, Chambers Street and Welby Gardens make up the residential part of the Grantham Conservation Area. A skip on your drive there needs no licence, and one on the road needs the county licence like anywhere else.
