Rules in Marple

  • A skip on the road in Marple needs Stockport Council's permit, £42.50 for up to 28 days.
  • The skip company applies by emailing a completed form to Stockport's highway licences team.
  • Stockport charges more for a retrospective permit than for one requested in advance.
  • Stockport only issues these permits to skip companies that pay its yearly registration fee.
  • As the hirer you're responsible for lights and cones, though the skip company can usually arrange them.

Getting a skip in Marple

Around Marple District Centre, parking is the main problem. In 2023, residents of Church Street, Queen Street, Chadwick Street and nearby roads asked Stockport Council for permit parking because of it. Church Street is terraced houses, and Stockport Road is lined with terraces mixing homes and businesses. With no drive, your skip goes on the road under a permit the skip company arranges. A 4 yard midi takes less kerb space than an 8 yard large. Springfield Avenue already has residents permit parking, so ask the skip company where the skip can sit.

On Church Lane, in the All Saints conservation area, the houses are mostly semis and terraces on the slope up to Marple Ridge. If yours has a drive, the skip sits there with no permit. Marple Bridge is a mostly stone-built village by the River Goyt, and much of Longhurst Lane's housing dates from the late 19th century. Low Lea Road is still a narrow unsurfaced lane, so tell the skip company about it before you book. Hawk Green Road's redbrick terraces step up a steep hill, where a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi is easier to place.

You don't always need a skip in Marple. Adswood Road Recycling Centre in Cheadle Hulme takes rubble free from Greater Manchester homes, so a few bags can go there. Stockport's bulky collection takes three to eight items for £80, which suits a sofa, a bed and a wardrobe. For a kitchen strip-out or a full clear-out, book the skip. A 6 yard builders takes heavy rubble, and a 12 yard maxi suits a house clearance.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Marple?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. Stockport Council's permit costs £42.50 for up to 28 days, and the skip company applies for it. A skip on your own drive in Marple needs no permit.
Can I have a skip on Church Street in Marple District Centre?
Parking is the catch there. In 2023, Church Street residents and their neighbours asked Stockport for permit parking because of parking problems. Church Street is terraced houses, so a skip usually goes on the road under Stockport's permit, and a 4 yard midi takes the least room.
How much furniture can Stockport take from a Marple house at once?
Up to eight items for £80, with a minimum of three. That suits a sofa, a bed and a wardrobe from a Marple house. Once the job includes rubble, bags of clutter or more than eight items, a skip makes more sense.
Where can I take rubble from a Marple job instead of a skip?
Adswood Road Recycling Centre in Cheadle Hulme takes rubble, free for waste from Greater Manchester homes. Vans and twin axle trailers need a permit there. For more than a few bags from a Marple job, a 6 yard builders skip or smaller suits heavy waste.
Can a skip go on Low Lea Road or Church Lane in Marple?
Usually, but check access first. Low Lea Road is still a narrow unsurfaced lane, so tell the skip company before it sends a lorry. Church Lane, in the All Saints conservation area, is mostly semis and terraces. If yours has a drive, the skip can go there with no permit.
