Skip hire in Tytherleigh
Tytherleigh is in the Devon County Council highway area. A skip on the public road needs that council’s licence – the hire firm applies, not you. A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. This page is placement and waste rules, not a list of firms.
About Tytherleigh
Tytherleigh is a village in Chardstock civil parish in Devon (historically in Dorset until 1896), close to the Dorset and Somerset borders on the A358 between Axminster and Chard. The place-name was first recorded in 1154 as Tiderlege.
It is classed as a village in the House of Commons Library settlement file.
Skip Clerk does not invent provider rankings, phone numbers or “top skips in Tytherleigh”. Check the carrier’s CBDU number, then ask who will apply for the road licence.

Private drive vs road
- Wholly on a driveway or other private land you control: no highway licence from Devon County Council.
- Any part on the public road or highway: yes. The hire firm applies.
- Pavement: you cannot put a skip there. National rule: Do I need a skip permit?.
Local notes
Tytherleigh sits on the A358 between Axminster and Chard at the Devon–Dorset–Somerset borders. Prefer a private drive; the A358 frontage is fast through-traffic, so keep any roadside placement short and well signed.
Devon County Council’s chargeable-waste page gives each household a limited free DIY allowance at recycling centres: four single visits in any four-week period, with either up to two rubble bags you can lift yourself, or one single unbagged item up to two metres long. Excess soil and rubble is listed at £4.10 a bag or item; clean plasterboard at £7.60 a sheet or bag. Own-home DIY only; paid contractor waste is not accepted on that free path. Source: Devon chargeable waste. Plasterboard is not accepted at Totnes or South Molton centres.
How to hire without a fake directory
- Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
- If it has to sit on the road, tell the firm you are in the Devon County Council area and ask them to apply. Give them more than ten working days.
- Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – how to check a waste carrier licence.
- Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
