Essex Highways issues skip licences here, not the district council. A skip on your drive needs nothing; on the road it needs a licence, and we apply for you. Allow 10 working days. Size limit on the road: 6-yard maximum on the highway; anything bigger needs a driveway or private land. Enquire online and we'll confirm the permit price and timing for your street before you book.

Dunmow at a glance

Homes

Great Dunmow combines a historic core around the High Street, Market Place and North Street with a ring of modern estates. Church End, half a mile north, is a separate historic settlement around the parish church. Woodlands Park is a large modern estate built in successive sectors and still being extended at Woodlands Meadow. Period cottages in the centre often lack side access, so garden waste and furniture come out through the house, while homes on the newer estates can usually be loaded from a driveway or parking space.

House clearance in Dunmow

Building work

House building around Great Dunmow is extensive. West of Woodside Way, two adjoining schemes total 790 homes with a primary school and sports fields; Smiths Farm adds 370 homes and a care home; and further phases are under way south of Stortford Road and at Woodlands Park. Around 200 homes are planned on the secondary school site at Parsonage Downs. In the conservation area covering the High Street and Market Place, listed buildings limit what can be altered, and the tight town-centre streets leave few places to stand a skip.

Skip hire in Dunmow

Businesses

Shops, pubs and cafés line Great Dunmow's High Street and Market Place, and the weekly market is held on Tuesdays. Industrial and trade occupiers are grouped at Hoblongs Industrial Estate and Oak Industrial Park on Chelmsford Road, the Flitch Industrial Estate and the Ongar Road Industrial Estate. These produce metal, timber, packaging and general trade waste, while the town centre generates food and glass from hospitality. Parking and loading space on the High Street is limited, so early or timed collections are the practical option for premises there.
