What to know about Skip Permits?
A Skip Permit may be required...
Skip permits are required by law, if you want to place a skip on any public road or pavement. A skip permit is sometimes called a skip licence, but are the same thing. If you do fail to get a permit then your skip can be removed before you have filled it and you are likely to be fined. You do not need a permit if you put want to put your skip on private land, such as your driveway or field.
Parking suspension fees for skips
You may also need a parking suspension if your skip is to be placed in a controlled parking zone (CPZ), such as in a residents parking bay or metered parking area, then unfortunately you will need to pay parking bay suspension fees on top of your skip hire and permit fees. These vary dramatically from council to council. In some parts of London for example, they can be as much as £70 per day, but others can be completely free of charge.

If you are placing a skip on private land such as a driveway, you will not need a permit. If the skip is going on the public highway or council land, you must apply for a permit.
Yes. Some councils are maximum 8 cubic yard skip or builders skip and require lights on the skip. However, all councils are different.
The majority of councils allow the skip provider to arrange the permit. In the vast majority of areas inside the UK, the skip provider will organise this for you. There is a form to complete through the council.
Depending on the council, the times can vary, although most are 1-4 days.
You could be fined up to £1000. It is illegal to place a skip on the public highway without a permit.
Cones can be used to guard skips, and lamps must be attached to the skips corners at night.
Some areas, especially in cities with parking issues, require you to suspend a parking bay. This is a separate cost to skip permit and can require an admin fee. We would recommend a man and van service to remove your rubbish as this permit fee can be expensive.
