Rules in Holsworthy

  • A skip on a Devon road needs a licence costing £110.50, valid for up to 28 days.
  • Devon County Council needs at least 10 working days' notice to issue the licence.
  • In an exceptional emergency, a licence with less notice may be possible at a higher fee.

  • At night the skip needs a lamp at each corner and a line of cones on the approach side.

Getting a skip in Holsworthy

In Holsworthy town centre, Fore Street has Victorian terraced houses and a raised pavement. If your terrace has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road under a Devon County Council licence, which the skip company applies for. Around The Square, waiting is banned at any time on parts of the west and north side, and on the south-west side of Victoria Square. The marked bays in the middle allow only one hour, Monday to Saturday. Ask for a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi, which take up less room on these streets.

Holsworthy's conservation area covers most of the town centre, from High Street in the north to Uplands Terrace in the south. For a small job, the tip can beat a skip. Anvil Corner Recycling Centre at Hollacombe takes soil and rubble free up to an allowance, then charges per bag, and it's closed Tuesday to Thursday. Torridge's bulky collection takes up to two items for £32.55. Once your rubble fills more than a car boot, hire a 6 yard builders skip or smaller for the heavy waste.

Parking is easier on Holsworthy's newer estates. Ruby Meadow's terraced and end-terraced homes come with two parking spaces, so your skip can sit on one with no licence needed. North Road has 170 new homes approved alongside its older semi-detached houses, and the old cattle market site has 45 more. Land between Trewyn Road and Rydon Road has approval for up to 200 homes. If you're moving in, a 2 yard mini takes the packaging and garden leftovers.

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

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Holsworthy?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive or parking space needs none. On the road, Devon County Council's licence costs £110.50 for up to 28 days, and the skip company applies at least 10 working days ahead.
Can a skip go on The Square in Holsworthy?
It's tight there. Waiting is banned at any time on parts of The Square's west and north side and on Victoria Square's south-west side. The central bays allow only one hour, Monday to Saturday. A 2 yard mini takes the least room, and the skip company agrees the spot when it applies.
How much rubble from an EX22 job can Anvil Corner take?
A few bags is fine. Anvil Corner Recycling Centre at Hollacombe takes soil and rubble free up to an allowance, then charges per bag. It's shut Tuesday to Thursday. For a patio or a garden wall, a 6 yard builders skip makes more sense.
What should I do with just two large items in Holsworthy?
Book Torridge's bulky collection. It takes up to two items for £32.55, which suits an old sofa and a bed better than a skip. Hire a skip once you're clearing a whole room or more.
Can I park a skip at a new Ruby Meadow home in Holsworthy?
Usually you can. The terraced and end-terraced homes at Ruby Meadow come with two parking spaces, and a skip on your own space needs no road licence. A 4 yard midi suits flat-pack boxes and garden leftovers after a move.
