Rules in Southampton

  • A skip on the road needs a £37 licence lasting one week.
  • Renew the licence at £37 per week if you need the skip longer.
  • The council aims to grant permission within 8 weeks, so book well ahead.
  • Verges and pavements count as public highway, so a skip there needs the licence too.
  • A skip in a pay and display bay also needs the bay suspended for each day.

Getting a skip in Southampton

In Bedford Place, Southampton, the Victorian terraced and semi-detached homes rely on parking on the street. Your skip will usually go on the road there, so it needs the weekly licence. The late Regency and early Victorian artisan terraces either side of the Carlton Crescent Conservation Area also have on-street parking only. Morris Road and the Polygon have semi-detached and detached houses that park on the street too. If the kerb space is tight, a 4 yard midi takes up less room than an 8 yard large.

If the only space near your door in Southampton is a pay and display bay, the bay must also be suspended for each day the skip sits there. Some roads are moving traffic areas with restricted vehicle access, so give the skip company your exact street when you book. For a few bags of DIY waste, the Southampton HWRC on First Avenue, SO15, is often the better choice, though you'll need to book a visit. For a bigger clear-out, a skip saves the trips.

Bassett, in the north of Southampton, has mostly larger detached family homes with mixed parking. If yours has a drive, the skip can sit there with no licence and you can take an 8 yard large for a full clear-out. Pointout Road in Bassett is different, with fairly dense Victorian family houses that park on the street, so plan for the road licence. For soil or rubble from a garden job, stay at a 6 yard builders skip or smaller.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Southampton?
Only if it sits on the road, pavement or verge, which all count as public highway. The licence is £37 a week, and the skip company applies for it on your behalf. A skip on your own drive needs no licence.
Can a skip go in a pay and display bay in Southampton?
It can, with an extra step. As well as the weekly licence, the bay must be suspended for each day the skip uses it. Ask the skip company about the suspension when you book, so both are in place for delivery.
Is the First Avenue tip in SO15 better than a skip for small jobs?
For a few bags, often yes, since the Southampton HWRC at City Depot takes a wide range of materials. You must book a visit before you go. Once the job fills more than a car boot or two, a 2 yard mini saves the trips.
What size skip fits a Bedford Place terrace in Southampton?
A 4 yard midi at £245 usually suits a room or two. Bedford Place's Victorian terraces park on the street, so the skip goes on the road with the weekly licence. A smaller skip leaves more kerb space free.
How long does a skip permit take in Southampton?
The council aims to grant permission within 8 weeks of the application. That depends on full documents, correct payment and a suitable spot. Plan your Southampton road skip well ahead, and renew at £37 a week if the job runs over.
