  • A skip on the road needs a county permit costing £125 for 7 days off a bus route.
  • On a bus route the fee is higher, so tell the skip company your street.

  • Each extra week on the road needs an extension, paid by the week.
  • A skip on the road without a permit can bring a retrospective licence and an hourly enforcement charge.

Getting a skip in Wallingford

Parts of Castle Street and Reading Road in Wallingford have a proposed resident permit parking scheme, with non-residents limited to an hour or two. Give the skip company your street when you book so it can plan the spot. Outside the old ramparts, Station Road and Croft Road are lined with two-storey terraced workers' houses where parking is on the street. A skip outside one of these sits on the road, so it needs a county permit. A 4 yard midi clears a terrace and takes up less of the road.

Around Market Place, St Mary's Street and the High Street, the old street plan leaves narrow streets and pavements, and part of St Mary's Street is pedestrianised. Roadside parking already holds up buses and bin lorries, so a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi is easier to fit. Congestion is worst near the Wallingford Bridge approaches and the Lamb crossroads, so mention it if you live close by. All of the old town sits in the Wallingford Conservation Area.

On the 1950s Harwell Estate, many gardens are big enough to park in, so your skip can often sit off the road with no permit. An 8 yard large suits a full house clear-out there. For a couple of bags of rubble, Oakley Wood tip at Crowmarsh takes small amounts of DIY waste free once a week if you book a slot, which beats hiring a skip. For anything bigger, the skip is the simpler choice.

Other ways to get rid of it in Wallingford

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

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

When does a skip in Wallingford need a road permit?
Only when it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. On the road, the skip company applies to Oxfordshire County Council at least five working days ahead, and the licence costs £125 for 7 days off a bus route.
Will resident parking on Castle Street affect my Wallingford skip?
It might. A resident permit parking scheme has been proposed for parts of Castle Street and Reading Road, with short time limits for non-residents. Give the skip company your street when you book so it can plan where the skip goes.
Is Oakley Wood tip enough for a few bags of OX10 rubble?
For a couple of bags it is. Oakley Wood at Crowmarsh takes two 50-litre rubble bags of DIY waste free once every 7 days, then charges per extra 20-litre bag. Book a slot first and bring proof of address. A full bathroom strip-out is better in a 4 yard midi.
Should three old items in Wallingford go to the bulky collection?
For three items it usually makes sense. South Oxfordshire Council collects up to three bulky items from £62.50, and you pick a date when you book. If you have more than that, or rubbish to go with them, a 4 yard midi holds the lot.
Can I have a skip in Wallingford's town centre conservation area?
You can, but space is tight. Market Place, St Mary's Street and the High Street keep their old narrow layout, and part of St Mary's Street is pedestrianised. A 2 yard mini is easiest to place, and the skip company needs to know your exact spot when you book.
