Getting a skip in Wincanton

In Wincanton's conservation area, Station Road is a row of modest matching stone terraced houses that back onto a public footpath. Parking across the older streets is mixed, so check whether you have space off the street before you book. If you don't, the skip goes on the road under a Somerset Council licence, which the skip company applies for. A 4 yard midi suits a bathroom or kitchen strip-out in a small stone terrace. North of the High Street, Carrington Way was built in the 1970s on old yard sites, and a 2 yard mini fits a garden or garage tidy there.

South of the High Street, the Balsam estate was built in the 1920s and 30s and spread east later in the century. Bayford Hill and Shadwell have 1970s houses, and the late 1980s homes follow the old railway line from Waterside to the station yard. Parking is mixed here too, so if your drive takes the skip you need no permit. An 8 yard large takes a loft and garage clear-out in one go. On the western edge, 650 homes are proposed at Lawrence Hill beside the A371, next to 80 homes already planned west of Crockers Way.

Not every job needs a skip. Each Somerset household can take up to eight 50 litre sacks of DIY rubble a month to a recycling centre free, and Castle Cary's Dimmer Lane site is the nearest to Wincanton. For up to three bulky items, the council's collection at £82.60 can beat a skip. For a patio dig-out or a full refit, you'll want a 6 yard builders skip, the largest size for heavy rubble and soil.

Questions

Is a permit needed if my skip sits on a Wincanton street?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. On your own drive no permit is needed. On the street, the skip company applies to Somerset Council for a licence costing £109 for 28 days, with 10 working days' notice.
Which skip fits a Station Road terrace job in Wincanton?
A 4 yard midi handles a bathroom or kitchen strip-out in one of Station Road's small stone terraced houses. The row sits in the conservation area and fronts the road, so look for space off the street first. Without it, the skip goes on the road under licence.
Can I take DIY rubble from BA9 to the tip free?
Up to a point. Each Somerset household can take eight 50 litre sacks of construction waste a month to a recycling centre free. Castle Cary's Dimmer Lane site is the nearest to Wincanton. A patio or a full room's rubble needs more room, so a 6 yard builders skip suits that.
How do I clear an old sofa and two wardrobes in Wincanton?
Book Somerset Council's bulky collection, which takes up to three items for £82.60, with a charge for each extra item. For furniture alone that's often simpler than a skip. If you're clearing a whole room as well, a 4 yard midi takes the furniture and the rest together.
