All skips placed on public highways, including roads, pavements, grass verges, and public car parks, must have a permit or license. Permit prices vary by location and are determined by your local council.
When booking your skip, please provide our customer service team with as much information as possible. This will help us ensure that any necessary permits or licenses are obtained. If a required permit or license is not secured before your delivery, we will not be able to deliver your skip.
Additional Information:
Application Process
The application for a permit or license is usually handled by us, but processing times can vary, so it’s advisable to book your skip well in advance.
Permit Duration
Permits typically cover a specific duration, after which they may need to be renewed if the skip remains in place.
Safety Requirements
Skips placed on public highways often need to meet specific safety requirements, such as proper lighting and markings, to ensure they are visible to traffic and pedestrians.
Fines and Penalties
Placing a skip on public property without the necessary permit or license can result in fines and penalties imposed by the local council.
Environmental Considerations
Ensure the skip hire company complies with local regulations regarding waste disposal and recycling to minimize environmental impact.
