Getting a skip in Market Harborough

In the south of Arden, close to Market Harborough town centre, Heygate Street and Clarence Street have Victorian and Edwardian terraces. They have very small front gardens and no parking of their own. Your skip goes on the road there, so the skip company applies to Leicestershire County Council for the permit. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the street than an 8 yard large. New Harborough, off Coventry Road, and Northampton Road also have older terraced housing, so check whether you have space off the street before you book.

Further out in Arden, the houses built between the wars are detached and semi-detached with front and back gardens, though parking varies. The mid-20th century semis and detached houses have bigger plots, usually with parking at the front or side. If your drive takes the skip, you need no permit. A 6 yard builders or 8 yard large suits a full room or garden clear-out. For regular garden clippings, Harborough Council's garden waste bin at £61 a year is a better fit than a skip.

Market Harborough's conservation area covers the old town centre. Church Street and the lanes around St Dionysius church are narrow. The old yards behind the street-front buildings are reached through passages or archways. Tell the skip company about the access before you book, and a 2 yard mini takes the least room. The upper High Street is broad and open, so a lorry has more room there.

Questions

Does a skip outside my Market Harborough house need a permit?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. Leicestershire County Council issues the permit at £45 per week, for up to 14 days, and takes 3 full working days. The skip company applies, so book a few days ahead. A skip on your own drive needs none.
Where does a skip go on Clarence Street or Heygate Street?
On the road. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces on Clarence Street and Heygate Street have very small front gardens and no parking of their own, so the skip needs a county permit. A 4 yard midi leaves more space for parked cars on the street.
Can a skip lorry reach the lanes around Church Street, Market Harborough?
It depends on the lane. Church Street and the lanes around St Dionysius church are narrow, and the old yards behind the street-front buildings are reached through passages or archways. Tell the skip company about the access before you book. A 2 yard mini needs the least room.
What suits regular lawn clippings from an LE16 garden?
Harborough Council's garden waste bin, at £61 a year per bin, handles regular clippings. A skip makes more sense for a one-off clear-out, such as taking out a hedge or an old shed, where a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip suits.
What size skip suits a New Harborough terrace off Coventry Road?
A 4 yard midi suits most room refits there. New Harborough, off Coventry Road, is an older terraced area, so check whether you have space off the street. If not, the skip goes on the road with a county permit, and a smaller skip leaves more room.
