Rules in Kettering
- A skip on the road, pavement or verge needs a council licence costing £33 per week.
- You can't apply yourself, so the skip company applies to North Northamptonshire Council online for you.
- To keep a skip longer, the skip company contacts the council to extend the licence for you.
- Skips in pedestrian areas of larger towns carry an extra weekly fee on top of the licence.
- The council prefers a skip inside your property boundary, where no licence is needed.
Getting a skip in Kettering
In Kettering, the terraces on Regent Street are built right up to the back of the pavement, with no front garden to take a skip. Yours goes on the road, so the skip company gets the council licence at £33 per week. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the street than an 8 yard large. Broadway, Hawthorne Road and St Peters Avenue have grander terraces, often with modest front gardens. Measure yours before you book, since a 2 yard mini may fit where a bigger skip won't.
Eden Street sits in resident parking Zone E, and Tennyson Road in Zone G, alongside York Road. Cromwell Road and Fleet Street are in Zone F. Residents' permits only work in their own zone, so tell the skip company your street and zone when you book. Kingsley, Neale and Blandford Avenues, off Rockingham Road, are rows of houses from around 1895 to 1930. Rockingham Road is a busy through-road, and a skip on the road there needs lights at night, which the skip company provides.
A few bags from a small job are simpler at the Kettering tip on Garrard Way, open Wednesday to Sunday. Up to five bulky items, like a sofa and wardrobe, go with the council's collection for £41.75. Once the job is bigger, such as a bathroom strip-out or extension rubble, you'll want a 6 yard builders skip, and heavy waste shouldn't go in anything larger.

Questions
- Will I need a permit if my Kettering skip goes on the street?
- Only if it sits on the highway, which includes the pavement, verge or edge of the road. Then the skip company applies to North Northamptonshire Council for a licence at £33 per week. On your drive or inside your boundary, you need none.
- Is there room for a skip at a Regent Street terrace, Kettering?
- On the road, in most cases. Regent Street's terraces are set hard up to the back of the pavement, so there's no front garden to take one. The skip company arranges the licence, and a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi leaves more of the street clear.
- Can the Garrard Way tip take my bags instead of a Kettering skip?
- For a few bags, the Kettering tip on Garrard Way is the easier choice. It opens Wednesday to Sunday and shuts Monday and Tuesday. A hired van needs a free e-permit, and the weight limit is 3.5 tonnes, so a bigger clear-out suits a skip.
- Bulky collection or skip for a Kettering house clear-out?
- It depends on the volume. The council collects up to five bulky items for £41.75, which suits a sofa, a bed and a wardrobe. A whole house clearance in Kettering needs more than that, so an 8 yard large or 12 yard maxi makes more sense.
- Garden bin or skip for hedge cuttings in NN15?
- The council's garden waste bin costs £62 a year, with collections every two weeks for 12 months. That suits regular clippings. A one-off garden clearance with soil or a big hedge cut fits a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip instead.
