Getting a skip in Worcester

In Worcester, the 1880s terraces around Derby Road in Sidbury and Fort Royal are closely packed, with small front gardens and parking on the street. Your skip will usually go on the road there, and the skip company applies for the county council's permit. A 4 yard midi is the easier fit outside a terrace. Off London Road the houses mix terraces, semis and detached homes, many with large gardens, so you may have room for an 8 yard large off the street, where no permit is needed. Both sit in the Sidbury and Fort Royal conservation area.

Many Worcester streets sit in resident parking zones. The Arboretum permit streets include Sansome Walk, Lansdowne Road and Shrubbery Avenue, and Zone B covers Britannia Square and The Moors. In Britannia Square and in Diglis, on Portland Street and Mill Street, parking is in marked residents' bays. Give the skip company your exact street when you book, so it can plan where your skip stands. Britannia Square and Shrubbery Avenue are conservation areas too.

Before you book, check whether the council beats a skip. Worcester Council's bulky waste collection takes three items for £40.90, which suits a sofa and chair or a bed. The Bilford Road tip in WR3 takes household waste and recycling, though you'll need to pre-book your car at busier times on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. For a kitchen strip-out or a house clear-out, a skip holds far more, and a 6 yard builders skip is the largest for soil and rubble.

Questions

Do I need a permit for a skip in Worcester?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your drive needs none. On the road, the skip company applies to Worcestershire County Council, which charges £45 for the first week and takes up to 5 working days to issue it.
What size skip suits a Derby Road terrace in Worcester?
A 4 yard midi is the easier fit. The 1880s terraces around Derby Road are closely packed with small front gardens and street parking, so the skip will sit on the road under a permit. For heavy rubble, a 6 yard builders skip is the largest to use.
Should I book Worcester Council's bulky collection or a skip?
For three items or fewer, the council is simpler. Worcester Council collects three items for £40.90, and a three-piece suite counts as all three. If you're clearing more than that, a skip from £130 takes everything in one go.
Which Worcester tip is open on a Sunday?
Bilford Road in WR3 opens from 10.00 to 16.00 on Sundays. Hallow Road in WR2 is closed on Sundays and all bank holidays. If you go to Bilford Road at a busy weekend, you may need to pre-book your vehicle with the county council.
Is Britannia Square in Worcester a conservation area?
It is, and it's also a resident parking zone with marked residents' bays. The conservation area runs from York Place south to Back Lane South. If you have no space off the street, tell the skip company your address so it can plan where the skip goes.
