Getting a skip in Melton Mowbray

Melton Mowbray's town centre is a conservation area, with mostly Georgian and early Victorian buildings and a few nineteenth century homes. In the Pedestrian Zone, vehicles can only load, unload and move between 4pm and 10am. Your skip has to be dropped off and lifted out in those hours. Leicester Yard, off Leicester Street, is a courtyard with a terrace of nineteenth century cottages. Ask the skip company about access there first, as a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi is easier to place in a tight space.

On Leicester Road, the Lake Terrace estate was built in the 1930s. West End Villas, a pair of tall three-storey semi-detached houses, date from around 1880. If your house has no space off the street, your skip goes on the road under a county permit, which takes 3 working days to issue. Melton Mowbray's only resident parking zone covers Quorn Avenue, Fernie Avenue, Cottesmore Avenue and part of Asfordby Road. Tell the skip company if you live there before it books a road spot.

For a sofa, a wardrobe and a few other big pieces, Melton Council's collection takes up to five large items for £50.45, though not white goods. For a full room clear-out or a refit, a skip makes more sense. A 6 yard builders skip holds heavy rubble, and an 8 yard large takes bulkier, lighter waste from a Melton Mowbray house clearance.

Other ways to get rid of it in Melton Mowbray

For one or two items, the council is often cheaper than a skip. Here’s how they compare.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Melton Mowbray?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. On the road, the skip company applies to Leicestershire County Council, which charges £45 per week, takes 3 working days to issue and grants permits for up to 14 days.
Can a skip lorry reach Melton Mowbray's town centre Pedestrian Zone?
Only between 4pm and 10am. The Traffic Regulation Order limits loading, unloading and vehicle movements in the Pedestrian Zone to those hours, so your skip has to be dropped off and lifted out then. The town centre is also a conservation area, with mostly Georgian and early Victorian buildings.
Can I have a skip on Quorn Avenue or Fernie Avenue in Melton Mowbray?
You can, but these streets are in Zone 21, Melton Mowbray's only resident parking zone, along with Cottesmore Avenue and part of Asfordby Road. If your skip goes on the road, the skip company needs the county permit, so mention the zone when you book.
Should five large items in LE13 go to Melton Council or a skip?
Melton Council's collection usually suits that better. It takes up to five large items from your home for £50.45, but not white goods. If you're also clearing bags, boxes or rubble, a 4 yard midi from £200 holds the lot in one go.
