Rules in Weymouth
- A new Dorset Council skip licence costs £84 for 28 days, and the skip company applies for it.
- The skip company must apply at least 2 weeks before the skip is needed on site.
- Ask for a longer period in the first application, as the council doesn't guarantee extensions.
- A skip on the highway must not be placed on a verge.
- If the skip stays after the licence expires, the council adds an extra charge.
Getting a skip in Weymouth
In Weymouth's Park District, the triangle between the seafront and the station, the Victorian terraces of two and three storeys have no parking at the front. Your skip goes on the road there, so the skip company applies for a Dorset Council licence. Resident permits only count in zone-signed bays, and Zone C takes in Bolton Place, South Street and South Mill Lane. Tell the skip company your street when you book. A 4 yard midi takes up less room outside a terrace.
Most of Weymouth Town Centre is a conservation area, and its old core has narrow, enclosed streets around the harbour and Melcombe Regis. Homes there are densely built, with many shared houses. Asker Terrace, East Street and Melville Square are in resident permit Zone B. With little space off the road, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi is the easier size to place. For a few bags of rubble, the Portland tip takes up to 16 bags of DIY waste over four visits in four weeks, with a small charge per bag.
Southill, Littlemoor, Overcombe and Redlands were built from the 1960s onwards. Land is also allocated for new homes, with 150 at the Littlemoor Urban Extension, 320 at Markham and Little Francis and around 250 at Wyke Oliver Farm North. If you're moving in, an 8 yard large takes boxes and old furniture in one go. If your skip fits on your own drive, it needs no licence.

Fly-tipping in Weymouth
£400 fixed penalty
1,410 incidents reported across the Dorset Council area in 2024-25, about 3.6 per 1,000 people.
Council-wide figures, not just Weymouth.
Nobody wants fly-tipping in Weymouth. 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 Weymouth?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your own drive needs none. On the highway, the skip company applies for a Dorset Council licence at £84 for 28 days, at least 2 weeks ahead. The skip can't sit on a verge.
- Does a skip outside a Park District terrace in Weymouth go on the road?
- It does, because the Park District terraces have no parking at the front. The skip company applies for a Dorset Council licence. Bolton Place, South Street and South Mill Lane are in resident permit Zone C, and those permits only count in zone-signed bays, so tell the skip company your street.
- What are the Portland tip's limits for DIY rubble from Weymouth?
- Up to 16 bags of DIY waste over four visits in four weeks, with a small charge for each bag of rubble. The Portland tip won't take business waste. For a bigger pile, a 6 yard builders skip at £430 takes it in one load.
- What does Dorset Council's garden bin cost for a DT3 garden?
- £77 a year if you start in April, and less the later in the year you join. It suits regular cuttings through the season. For a one-off clearance of an overgrown garden, a 4 yard midi skip takes the lot in one go.
- Is my Weymouth town centre street in a conservation area?
- Most likely, since the conservation area covers most of Weymouth Town Centre. Its narrow, enclosed streets leave little room, so a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi on the road is easier to place. Weymouth and Portland have 15 conservation areas in all.
