Rules in Taunton

  • A skip on a Taunton road needs Somerset Council's licence, at £109 for 28 days.
  • Allow at least 10 working days' notice before the skip is due on the road.
  • Keeping a skip beyond 28 days needs a new application and a further £109.
  • Renewals go to the council at least a week before the current licence expires.
  • Only accredited contractors get a highway licence, so the skip company applies, not you.

Getting a skip in Taunton

On Staplegrove Road in north-west Taunton, the Edwardian and Regency terraces nearer the town centre mostly rely on parking on the street. With no space off the road, your skip goes on the road under Somerset Council's licence. Further west, the detached and semi-detached houses sit back from the road, and the modern homes have parking on the plot, so your skip can often go on the drive with no permit. Staplegrove Road is also a conservation area. A 4 yard midi takes up less of the street outside a terrace.

In Taunton town centre, Victorian terraces rely on on-street permit parking, so tell the skip company your street when you book. Either side of East Reach, the later two-storey terraces line the road, and if yours has no space at the front, the skip goes on the street with a licence. On Alma Street a driveway is rare, but where a Victorian terrace has one, your skip can sit on it with no permit.

Along the east side of Cheddon Road in Priorswood, and on Roman Road in Halcon, the housing is 1930s council estate. For a house clear-out or a kitchen refit there, an 8 yard large skip suits. Soil and rubble from a patio belong in a 6 yard builders skip or smaller. If the job is regular hedge and lawn cuttings, Somerset Council's garden bin at £76.30 a year may suit you better than a skip.

Fly-tipping in Taunton

2,830 incidents reported across the Somerset Council area in 2024-25, about 4.8 per 1,000 people.

Council-wide figures, not just Taunton.

Nobody wants fly-tipping in Taunton. 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 Taunton?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your drive it needs nothing. Somerset Council issues road licences only to accredited contractors, so the skip company applies, at £109 for 28 days, with 10 working days' notice.
Can I take a few bags of rubble to Priorswood instead of a skip?
Often you can. Each household can take up to eight 50 litre sacks of construction and demolition waste a month to the Taunton (Priorswood) recycling centre free. Plasterboard is charged per sheet. For more than that, a 2 yard mini at £165 saves repeat trips.
Should three bulky items in Taunton go to the council collection?
Usually it should, for a sofa, bed and wardrobe. Somerset Council collects up to three bulky items for £82.60, with a fee for each extra item. Once you have more pieces, or bags of rubbish too, a 4 yard midi at £280 takes the lot in one go.
Can a skip go outside a house on Park Street in Wilton?
It can go on the road under Somerset Council's licence, which the skip company applies for. Park Street is in the Park Street and Wellington Road conservation area, among 1840s houses in coloured brick and Bath stone. Allow 10 working days for the licence.
