The local setting
The council publishes separate maps for Lanark and New Lanark. Check the relevant map and property details rather than treating those place names as interchangeable when describing the work.
Council Lanark and New Lanark maps ↗
Source checked 30 September 2026. Background information does not confirm current vehicle access.
Give the house or premises name, street and postcode. If the proposed position is part of a managed property, establish who can authorise it and provide their access instructions. A map boundary alone does not settle permissions for building work, nor does it show whether a lorry can reach a yard. Any protected features or site-specific restrictions should be checked before planning a strip-out.
Decide which doors, units or other fittings will be retained before estimating the load. Put the remaining bulky items on one list and heavy renovation material on another. A 2- or 4-yard choice may suit a modest agreed load, while 6 or 8 yards can be considered for greater volume. Declare plasterboard, upholstered seating and electricals separately so that their route is settled before the clear-out starts.
Capacity, weight and access
Compare the four sizes, then confirm the permitted material and weight with the supplying operator. Keep the load level with the rim.
Placement and permission
Read the South Lanarkshire road-permit guidance ↗ before agreeing delivery dates.
Private land still needs the owner’s agreement and a suitable delivery arrangement.
No. Supply and access must be checked at the exact property. Provide the full address and any site-management instructions instead of assuming an arrangement for one place applies to the other.
A clear-out starts with a small step.
