Rules in Malmesbury
- A Wiltshire road licence for a skip costs £143.80 and lasts 28 days.
- Apply with at least 3 working days' notice, because a later application costs more.
- For a longer job, buy a new licence at the same fee before the old one runs out.
- The licence covers the skip only, so no building materials can sit on the road beside it.
- At least four cones go on the approach side of a road skip, with yellow lamps at night.
Getting a skip in Malmesbury
Malmesbury's old town sits on a hill inside the conservation area, with narrow roads and pavements. St John's Street and Silver Street are lined with old two storey cottages. If yours has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road, and the skip company gets the licence for £143.80 for 28 days. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi leaves more of a narrow road clear.
Westport is the flatter ground around the old town, where Malmesbury grew in the 20th century. The council built houses on Pool Gastons Road and Athelstan Road in the 1930s, then on Alexander Road, Avon Road and Hobbes Close after the war. Bristol Street and St Mary's Street have terraces from the 1880s and 90s. Check whether your house has room off the street, because a skip on your own drive needs no permit. For patio or garden rubble, you'll want a 6 yard builders or smaller.
At Burton Hill, old terraces built for mill workers line the Chippenham road. About 50 cottage-style homes are planned there, and about 170 more north west of Malmesbury, south of the Dyson site. If your terrace has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road under the licence, so a 4 yard midi keeps more of the road clear. For just a few bags, Stanton St Quintin recycling centre can beat a skip, though you need to book a visit first.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Malmesbury?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your own drive needs none. On the road, the skip company buys the Wiltshire Council licence, at £143.80 for 28 days, and it needs 3 working days' notice.
- Will a skip fit on Silver Street in Malmesbury's old town?
- A small one is the safer choice. The old town's roads and pavements are narrow, and the cottages on Silver Street and St John's Street sit in the conservation area. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes the least road space, and the skip company arranges the licence.
- Should a few bags from my SN16 loft go to Stanton St Quintin?
- For a few bags, the tip can be the better choice. You must book a visit to Stanton St Quintin recycling centre, and taking a van or pickup needs a permit. For a full room or garden, a skip in SN16 saves the trips.
- Does a garden bin beat a skip for Malmesbury hedge cuttings?
- For regular cuttings it does. Wiltshire's garden bin costs £75 a year, though the price depends on the month you register. For a one-off garden clearance, a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip takes it all at once.
- What if my Burton Hill refit runs past the licence period?
- You need a new licence before the old one ends. Wiltshire's licence lasts 28 days, and a fresh one costs the same £143.80. A skip can't stay on the road after expiry without the council's written agreement, so tell the skip company early.
