Rules in Street

  • A skip on the road needs a Somerset Council licence, costing £109 for 28 days.
  • Give at least 10 working days' notice, though the council will consider emergency applications.
  • Past 28 days, a new extension application and a further £109 fee are needed.
  • Only accredited contractors can hold a highway licence, so the skip company applies rather than you.
  • On public land, lighting and coning are the hirer's job, though they can usually be hired with the skip.

Getting a skip in Street

In Street, Wilfrid Road has roomy terraced houses from the 1880s, built for workers at Clark's factory just to the west. Merriman Road has the town's first council houses, from 1911 and 1912. Check whether your house has space off the road before you book. If it does, the skip sits there with no permit. If it doesn't, the skip company applies for the road licence and needs 10 working days' notice, so book early. A 4 yard midi is a sensible size for a terrace kitchen or bathroom refit.

In Houndwood, Grange Road opened the area up for semi-detached houses from the 1930s. New homes are planned around the edges of Street too. Permission is in place for 280 homes at Somerton Road and up to 65 at Moorland Road, and 48 more are proposed south of the A39 at Quarry Batch. The Somerton Road homes all come with gardens or balconies. If you're moving in and laying a garden, a 2 yard mini takes the packaging and turf offcuts.

For a small job, the Street recycling centre on Farm Lane takes up to eight 50 litre sacks of DIY rubble per household each month for free, so a weekend patio repair may not need a skip. It shuts on Thursdays and Fridays. For up to three bulky items, the council collects them for £82.60. Anything bigger, like a full kitchen or a garden wall, is where a 6 yard builders skip earns its keep.

Other ways to get rid of it in Street

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

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Street. Whoever takes your waste, make sure they’re a licensed waste carrier. The skip companies on this site all are.

By law you’re responsible for your waste even after it’s collected. If it’s dumped and traced back to you, you can be fined.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Street?
Only if the skip goes on the road or pavement. On your own drive or land it needs none. For the road, the skip company applies to Somerset Council, which charges £109 for 28 days and asks for 10 working days' notice.
Will a few sacks from a BA16 patio fit the monthly tip allowance?
Up to eight sacks will. Each household can bring eight 50 litre sacks of construction waste a month free to the Street recycling centre on Farm Lane. Over that, each bag is charged. The centre is closed on Thursdays and Fridays, and a bigger job is easier in a skip.
Should I book Somerset's bulky collection for a sofa in Street?
For up to three large items, the council collection at £82.60 is the simpler choice. Each extra item costs more on top. If you're clearing a room or a whole house in Street, a 4 yard midi or bigger takes the furniture and everything else at once.
Will a 4 yard midi do for refitting a Wilfrid Road house?
For a kitchen or bathroom refit it usually will. Wilfrid Road's terraces from the 1880s were spaciously laid out, but check for space off the road first. If there's none, the skip needs the road licence and the skip company needs 10 working days' notice.
How long can my skip stay on the road in Street?
The licence lasts 28 days. After that the skip needs a new extension application and another £109 (28 days). The council wants renewals at least a week before the current licence runs out, so the skip isn't left on the road without cover.
