Rules in Yeovil

  • A skip on the road in Yeovil needs Somerset Council's licence, at £109 for 28 days.
  • Allow 10 working days for the licence, since only emergency applications are taken on shorter notice.
  • A skip still out after 28 days needs a new application and another £109.
  • Renewals go to the council at least a week before the current licence runs out.
  • Licences for skips on the highway go only to accredited skip companies.

Getting a skip in Yeovil

In Yeovil's inner streets around Hendford, Westland and Penn Hill, the houses are Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Great Western Terrace on Goar Knap has small two-up, two-down houses. If your terrace has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road and the skip company applies for Somerset Council's licence. Allow 10 working days for it. A 4 yard midi suits a bathroom strip-out in a house this size. For a few bags of rubble, the tip on Artillery Road takes hardcore for a charge per bag above the free allowance.

The Park, west of Yeovil town centre, and Hendford Hill with Lovers Lane are conservation areas with bigger houses, spacious gardens and plenty of trees. Grove Avenue has early 1900s semis with two-storey bays, and West Park has large houses on both sides of a road that dips steeply. Where your house has room off the road, the skip sits on the drive with no permit. Ask the driver to mind overhanging trees when the lorry drops it. An 8 yard large takes a full clear-out of a big house.

In the town centre, a Traffic Regulation Order restricts vehicles on Middle Street, and general traffic through The Borough is restricted, so check a lorry can reach you before you book. On the edges of town, Brimsmore off Thorne Lane has outline permission for 976 homes, and Keyford and Up Mudford are allocated for about 800 and 765. If you've just moved in, a 2 yard mini takes the boxes and turf offcuts. For up to three big items, Somerset's bulky collection at £82.60 beats a skip.

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 Yeovil?
Only if it goes on the road or pavement. A skip on your own drive needs no permit. On the road, the skip company applies for Somerset Council's licence, which costs £109 for 28 days and needs 10 working days' notice.
Can a skip go on Middle Street or The Borough in Yeovil?
Check first, because both limit vehicles. A Traffic Regulation Order restricts vehicle access on Middle Street, and general traffic through The Borough is restricted. The High Street has also had traffic cut back for pedestrians. Ask the skip company whether a lorry can reach your door before you book.
Does Yeovil tip charge for bags of rubble from BA20?
It does, above a free household allowance. Yeovil Recycling Centre on Artillery Road charges per bag of hardcore or sack of soil past that allowance, and a van or trailer may need a free Somerset residents' permit. For a whole patio's worth, a 6 yard builders skip at £375 saves the trips.
Would a skip beat Somerset's bulky pickup for a Yeovil sofa?
Not for up to three items. Somerset Council collects up to three bulky items for £82.60, with a charge for each extra item. Once you're clearing a room's worth of furniture and bags, a 4 yard midi at £305 or larger takes the lot in one go.
Does Hendford Hill's conservation area change anything for a Yeovil skip?
Not for the permit itself. The Hendford Hill Conservation Area follows Hendford Hill and Lovers Lane, with large detached and semi-detached houses behind good boundary walls and gate piers. On a drive there, a skip needs no permit, but ask the driver to mind the walls and trees.
