Getting a skip in Lichfield
In Lichfield city centre, bollards keep most traffic off Market Street, Bore Street, Dam Street, Conduit Street and Breadmarket Street all day, every day, and off parts of Tamworth Street, Bird Street and Sandford Street. Delivery drivers can get in at any time from Monday to Wednesday. From Thursday to Sunday only business deliveries and vehicles going to off-street parking are let through. If you're in the zone, ask the skip company for an early-week delivery, and a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi will take up less room.
Gaia Lane, north of the Cathedral Close, has large detached houses set back in big grounds, so you may have room to keep a skip off the road with no permit needed. Check for space before you book at the 1920s council houses of Christ Church Gardens off Christchurch Lane or Beacon Gardens off Beacon Street, and on the 1960s estates between Stafford Road and Trent Valley Road. If your skip has to go on the street, the skip company applies to Staffordshire County Council for the permit.
For a bag or two of rubble or soil, the Lichfield Recycling Centre on Trent Valley Road is the better choice, as the first two 50L bags go free. Once your job grows into a refit or a full clear-out, a skip makes more sense. A 6 yard builders skip takes heavy rubble, and an 8 yard large suits bulky, lighter waste from a house clearance in Leamonsley or the Dimbles.

552 incidents reported across the Lichfield Council area in 2024-25, about 4.9 per 1,000 people.
Council-wide figures, not just Lichfield.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Lichfield?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. On the street, the skip company applies to Staffordshire County Council, which aims to issue it within 5 working days. The fee is £42 for up to 14 days, or 7 days on an A, B or C road.
- Can a skip go on Bore Street or Dam Street in Lichfield?
- Early in the week is your best chance. Both sit in the city centre pedestrian zone, where vehicle access is restricted at all times. Delivery drivers can get in at any time from Monday to Wednesday, but from Thursday to Sunday only business deliveries are let through. Tell the skip company your street when you book.
- Is a skip worth it for a few bags of Lichfield rubble?
- Not usually. Two 50L bags of rubble or soil go free at Lichfield Recycling Centre on Trent Valley Road, with a charge per bag after that. In winter it's shut on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you bring a van or trailer, you'll need a permit covering 12 visits a year.
- Should a single wardrobe from a Dimbles house go in a skip?
- Probably not. Lichfield Council collects one bulky item for £20, which is the simpler option for a single piece. A skip makes sense when the wardrobe is part of a wider clear-out with bags, boxes and broken furniture as well.
- Can a skip sit in the grounds of a Gaia Lane house?
- It often can. Gaia Lane, north of the Cathedral Close, has large detached houses set back from the road in big grounds. A skip on your own land needs no permit, so check the lorry can reach your chosen spot when you book.
