Skip Hire in Witham: what to know
Witham expanded rapidly as a London overspill town from the 1960s, so most homes sit on planned estates either side of the railway, with industrial estates at Freebournes and Eastways and newer housing off Maltings Lane. The town's own recycling centre on Perry Road takes cars only, closes on Thursdays and does not accept DIY waste or rubble.
New housing in Witham is concentrated on the edges: Rivenhall Park off Forest Road, with 385 homes complete and a further 230 approved; Lodge Farm, masterplanned for 750 dwellings; New Gimson Place, a 78-home scheme; and Woodend Farm, with about 400 homes planned. The overspill estates are of an age that typically brings refurbishment and extension work. Newland Street lies in a conservation area, where demolition and external changes are more closely controlled, and Chipping Hill is the older of the two historic cores, so skip positions in both need agreeing in advance.
Skips on the road in Witham. A driveway skip needs no paperwork; a road skip needs a licence before it's delivered. Essex Highways issues skip licences here, not the district council. Only the skip company can apply, so we do it for you. Allow 10 working days for a new licence. 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 for your street before you book.
Will a skip fit? On the newer developments the roads are often still private and the site managers restrict skips, so check before ordering one; a collection avoids the question. If you're not sure, send us a photo of the spot. Where a skip won't go, a wait and load in Witham costs about the same and needs no permit.

Skip Hire in Witham: your questions
Do I need a skip permit in Witham?
Only if the skip goes on the public highway. Essex Highways issues skip licences here, not the district council, and we apply on your behalf. On a driveway, no permit is needed. Enquire online and we'll confirm the permit price for your street before you book.
How quickly can you deliver a skip to Witham?
Driveway skips are delivered the next working day. Road skips wait for the licence, which takes 10 working days from Essex County Council.
Can I take the waste to the tip instead?
Witham Recycling Centre is the nearest recycling centre. Every car visit must be booked in advance (Blue Badge holders, pedestrians and cyclists are exempt). Cars only: vans, pick-ups and large trailers are not accepted, and the site does not take DIY waste or rubble. For anything over a car boot's worth, a skip or a collection is quicker.
