Skip hire in Dickleburgh

First published 21 October 2026. Last checked 21 October 2026.

Dickleburgh is in the Norfolk County Council highway area. A skip on the public road, pavement or verge needs the council's skip licence, and a new application is needed every time a skip is placed. A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. This page is placement and waste rules, not a list of firms.

About Dickleburgh

Dickleburgh is a village in the parish of Dickleburgh and Rushall in South Norfolk district, about 3.5 miles from Diss and 17 miles south-west of Norwich. It stands on the line of Pye Road, the Roman road from Venta Icenorum, near Caistor St Edmund, to Colchester.

Dickleburgh Mill opened in 1780, became one of Britain's first steam-powered mills in 1834 and closed in 1988, when the site was redeveloped for housing; All Saints' Church on Norwich Road has been Grade I listed since 1959.

Which authority

Norfolk County Council is the highway authority for every Norfolk district (Breckland, Broadland, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn and West Norfolk, North Norfolk, Norwich, South Norfolk). Full permit detail: Skip permit: Norfolk County Council. On the council's highways fees page (checked 21 October 2026; fees from 1 April 2026): £55.94 for the first 28 days and £55.94 for each further 28 days. The skip licence page asks for £5m public liability insurance, the waste carrier's certificate and a drawing of the skip position, so in practice the skip company applies. Trunk roads are National Highways, not the county. County map: Skip hire in Norfolk.

Local notes

Dickleburgh is in South Norfolk district, but Norfolk County Council, not the district council, licences skips on the road. The council does not print a notice period on its skip licence page, so ask the firm how much notice it needs, and expect a new application each time a skip is placed. The parish is Dickleburgh and Rushall, so use that name and your full postcode when the firm applies. All Saints' Church on Norwich Road is Grade I listed; if you live near it, agree where the skip and the lorry will sit before delivery.

Norfolk's recycling centres need a booked slot (free, up to one week ahead). DIY waste from work you did yourself on your own home is free up to two 50-litre sacks or one item per visit, with no more than four such visits in any four weeks; above that you pay as you throw (rubble, soil and stones £4.50, plasterboard £14 per 100 litres). Plasterboard is taken only at Caister, Dereham, Hempton, King's Lynn, Norwich North, Norwich South and Thetford, and no site takes asbestos. Waste from work you paid a trader for gets no free allowance. Source: Norfolk County Council: DIY waste and Norfolk Recycling Centre bookings.

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 Norfolk County Council area and ask how much notice it needs for the licence. Recheck the council pages on the day you book.
  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.
