Rules in Somerton
- A skip on the road needs a Somerset Council licence, which costs £109 for 28 days.
- Allow 10 working days' notice, as the council handles shorter applications as emergencies only.
- Keeping the skip on the road past 28 days needs a new application and another £109.
- Renew through the council at least a week before the current licence expires.
- While the skip is on the road, lights and cones are your responsibility as the hirer.
Getting a skip in Somerton
Somerton's town centre and an area to its east form the conservation area. West Street, Broad Street and North Street keep many buildings from the 1600s and earlier. If your house has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road under a Somerset Council licence, which the skip company applies for with 10 working days' notice. In the West End, small old cottages line winding, unplanned lanes, so a 4 yard midi is easier to fit than a big skip.
On the new estates either side of Behind Berry, and on part of the Millands, check for a drive first. A skip on your own land needs no permit. North of Bancombe Road, 130 homes are going up at Somerton Mead, and 56 more are approved north of Bradley Hill Lane. If you're moving into one, a 2 yard mini takes the packing and garden leftovers.
For small jobs, the Somerton recycling centre on Bancombe Road Industrial Estate is close by. Each household can bring eight 50 litre sacks of DIY waste a month free, so a few bags from a small job may cost you nothing there. It's closed Monday and Tuesday and won't take plasterboard. For a patio dig or a garden wall, a 6 yard builders skip takes the soil and rubble in one go.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Somerton?
- Only if it sits on the road or pavement, since a skip on your drive needs none. Somerset Council licenses road skips to accredited contractors only, so the skip company applies. The licence costs £109 for 28 days and needs 10 working days' notice.
- Is Somerton tip enough for the rubble from a small refit?
- Often it is. Each household can take eight 50 litre sacks of construction waste a month free, then pays for each extra bag. The Bancombe Road site is closed Monday and Tuesday and turns away plasterboard. If you'll fill more than that, a 4 yard midi takes the lot in one go.
- Can a skip go outside a West Street house in Somerton?
- It can go on the road under a licence if there's no space off the street. West Street is in the town centre conservation area, among buildings from the 1600s. The skip company applies for the licence, so book at least 10 working days ahead.
- Should three old items in Somerton go to the bulky collection?
- For just three items, the council collection is simpler. Somerset Council takes up to three bulky items for £82.60, with a charge for each one beyond that. Once you're clearing a whole room or more, a 4 yard midi or 8 yard large skip takes it all.
- Is a garden waste bin worth it for regular TA11 hedge trimming?
- For cuttings all year round, the council's bin suits you better. Somerset Council's wheeled bin subscription costs £76.30 a year, at a price set until 31 March 2027. For a one-off clearance with roots, soil or an old shed, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes it in one go.
