Getting a skip in Tamworth

On Albion Street in Tamworth, the red-brick terraced houses from 1889 stand right on the pavement, so your skip goes on the road with a permit. Victoria Road and Marmion Street have Victorian terraces too, with passages through to the rear gardens. If you've no space at the front, a 4 yard midi takes up less of the street. The west side of Victoria Road also has 1930s semis and detached houses, so check for room off the road before you book.

Parts of Tamworth town centre are closed to a skip lorry. Colehill, George Street, Market Street and Gungate form a pedestrian zone with no vehicle access and no waiting at any time. Loading is banned there from 11am to 3pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Bolebridge Street and Victoria Street take taxis and buses only. If you live near the centre, tell the skip company your exact street when you book. The Town Centre and Hospital Street conservation areas cover the old streets, including Upper Gungate and Cherry Street.

The large detached and semi-detached houses on Upper Gungate, Comberford Road and Lichfield Road suit an 8 yard large or 12 yard maxi for a full clear-out. For a few bags of rubble, Lichfield Recycling Centre on Trent Valley Road takes your first two bags free and charges for each one after. You can put regular garden cuttings in Tamworth Council's garden waste bin at £42.50 a year instead of hiring a skip.

Questions

What does a skip permit cost in Tamworth, B77 or B79?
A road permit costs £42 from Staffordshire County Council and covers up to 14 days, or 7 days on an A, B or C road. A skip on your own drive needs none. The skip company applies for it, and the council aims to issue it within 5 working days.
Can a skip lorry get into Tamworth's pedestrian zone?
Not easily. Colehill, George Street, Market Street and Gungate have no vehicle access, and loading is banned from 11am to 3pm on five days a week. Bolebridge Street and Victoria Street take only taxis and buses. Give the skip company your exact street when you book.
How many bags of rubble can I take free from Tamworth to Lichfield?
Two bags of rubble or soil go free at Lichfield Recycling Centre on Trent Valley Road, and each bag after that carries a charge. Cars get unlimited visits, but a van or trailer needs a tip permit. For a patio or bathroom strip-out, a 4 yard midi or 6 yard builders skip saves the trips.
What size skip suits a house on Comberford Road, Tamworth?
An 8 yard large or 12 yard maxi suits a full clear-out of the big detached and semi-detached houses on Comberford Road, Upper Gungate and Lichfield Road. Keep soil and rubble to a 6 yard builders or smaller. If your house has a drive, the skip can sit there with no permit.
How do I get rid of regular garden cuttings in B77 or B79?
Tamworth Council's garden waste bin costs £42.50 a year for up to 23 fortnightly collections, from late January or early February to mid-December. That suits regular hedge and lawn cuttings. A 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi skip is better for a one-off garden clearance.
