Wellington’s older streets include narrow routes and terraced homes. Give the entrance the lorry can reach, especially if it is away from the front door.
A rear yard can face another roadName the road leading to your usable yard or drive. The postal address alone may send the lorry to the wrong side.
Keep the gate clearLeave room for the skip and for people carrying waste out. Do not stack old units across a shared passage.
Describe a tight turnMention walls, bends or changes in level between the road and the proposed position before choosing the size.
The person helps you picture the size. Cubic yards tell you how much space is inside, not how much weight the skip can hold. Sizes vary, so confirm the measurements and access when you call.
Telford Road Skips: Leave Room for Traffic and People
Telford & Wrekin requires written approval before a road skip is placed. Its conditions apply to the exact position, including near a town centre.
A clear view for driversThe skip must be visible to approaching traffic. The published conditions keep it at least 20 metres from a junction.
Pavements stay openA skip must not partly or fully block a pavement or cycle path. A space outside the building is not suitable if people cannot pass.
Confirm the approved datesThe licence comes through the skip operator. Agree the permitted position and dates before arranging the clearance around delivery.
If on-street parking needs to be suspended, Telford & Wrekin uses a temporary traffic order: a council order that changes the parking rules. A skip licence alone does not reserve a bay.
Describe the restrictionGive the street, bay markings and dates. The council needs to know whether normal parking rules would have to change.
Settle the process earlyAsk which order or parking permission the address needs before fixing the job date. No application time is promised here.
Leave safe road spaceThe skip and its safety equipment still need room without blocking drains, nearby doors or traffic.
