Additional Information
Permits are not required if the skip is sited on your own property. If the skip is to be located on any public road, a permit from the local council is required. Give us the details at the time of hiring and we can arrange this on your behalf, or assist you if necessary, and add the cost to your skip hire fee. Lamps are provided with the permit and turn on automatically during the hours of darkness.
- Permits have different validity times depending upon the location and council.
- It can take from 3 to 10 days to get a permit, so please consider this when booking your skip.
- Most streets require a bay suspension, which incurs a daily charge and admin fee.
No Permit is required if the skip will be placed on your drive, or lawn or other private area.
