Private drive vs road

Local notes

Adlington town-centre streets and estate approaches often leave little kerb for a long skip lorry; prefer a private-drive drop if you control one. Lancashire County Council is the highway authority for Adlington (not Chorley as highway authority). Fee note: £42 per application max 28 days (2026/27 fees schedule), rechecked 12 Sep 2026.

The fee note above is from Lancashire County Council’s published page (or an honest note when none was printed), not a hire quote.

How to hire without a fake directory

  1. Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
  2. If it has to sit on the road, tell the firm you are in the Lancashire County Council highway area and ask them to apply. Give them the notice on the permit page.
  3. Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – how to check a waste carrier licence.
  4. Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
