Rules in Trowbridge
- A Wiltshire road licence costs £143.80 for 28 days, and the skip company applies for it.
- Allow 3 working days' notice, because shorter notice costs the higher fast-track fee.
- Past 28 days, a new licence at the same fee is needed before the old one expires.
- The licence covers only the skip, so no building materials can sit on the road beside it.
- On the road, at least four cones guard the approach side, with yellow lamps at night.
Getting a skip in Trowbridge
In Trowbridge, the Frome Road, Park Street and Bond Street district, the Ashton Street and Harford Street area and Dursley Road are lined with terraces of small two up, two down houses. Mortimer Street in the town centre has rows of two-storey houses too. If your terrace has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road under a Wiltshire Council licence, which the skip company arranges. A 4 yard midi suits a kitchen or bathroom strip-out in a house this size and takes less room at the kerb.
Trowbridge town centre has tight access. Fore Street is a pedestrian zone, and West Street and Broad Street are closed to vehicles except for access, so tell the skip company your exact street before you book. North of the centre, the Newtown conservation area covers mostly Victorian houses. For a few bags of household rubbish, the recycling centre on Canal Road Industrial Estate may beat a skip. It's closed on Fridays, and a van or large trailer needs a council permit.
Further out, the Hilperton Road area has bigger Victorian houses, Victoria Road among them, and Westbourne Road has modest Victorian houses from the 1870s. Pitman Avenue, Studley Rise and Shails' Lane on the Seymour Estate are council housing from just after the First World War to the 1930s. If you have a drive, a 6 yard builders skip can sit there with no permit. For regular hedge and lawn cuttings, Wiltshire's garden waste bin at £75 a year fits better than a skip.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Trowbridge?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. For the road, Wiltshire Council's licence costs £143.80 for 28 days, and the skip company applies for it with 3 working days' notice.
- Can a skip go on Fore Street or Broad Street in Trowbridge?
- Access is limited there. Fore Street is a pedestrian zone, and Broad Street and West Street allow vehicles for access only. Give the skip company your exact address before booking so they can check whether a lorry can get in and where the skip can sit.
- What size skip suits a Dursley Road terrace in Trowbridge?
- A 4 yard midi is usually enough for a kitchen or bathroom in a small two up, two down house on Dursley Road. For rubble from a yard or patio, a 6 yard builders skip is the most you should fill with heavy waste.
- Is the Canal Road tip better than a skip for a few BA14 bags?
- For a few bags in a car, often it is. Trowbridge Household Recycling Centre takes household waste, but it's closed on Fridays all year and on Thursdays in winter. A van, pickup or large trailer needs a council permit, and trade waste isn't allowed.
