Where can the skips be placed?

Skips cannot be placed on the highway without a permit and correct signage and lights. If you cannot place on private land (remember the grass verge outside your house may not be owned by you!) we will organise the necessary permit with the relevant local authority.

Do I need permission from the local authority when hiring a skip?

Only if you want the skip to be placed on the road, pavement or verge. The council will charge a fee for the licence, which varies depending on what local authority you come under.

How do I know what size skip I will need?

Where can the skip be left?
