If you plan to place your skip on public streets, you will need to obtain a permit or licence from your local authority; neglecting this can lead to significant fines. We can assist in securing this permit for you, so you won’t have to worry about the details. Just let us know your preferred skip placement and the dates you’ll need it – we’ll manage everything for you.
Please be aware that obtaining a permit may take a few days, so we recommend informing us at least a week in advance of your skip’s arrival date. The costs for permits can range from £65 to £105, depending on the type of permit and your location.

Our team is rigorously trained in health and safety protocols and complies with all relevant health and environmental regulations. To support our goal of promoting a greener environment, we offer exclusive discounts for hiring skips designated for pre-sorted waste or for disposing of wood and soil.
You can hire our skips for a maximum of two weeks. We’re happy to adjust the collection date according to your schedule—just let us know during the hire process or contact us later once you have a specific date in mind. If you need the skip for longer than two weeks, please inform us when you make your booking. Keep in mind that skips placed on council land require a permit valid for 14 days to a month; therefore, if you need a skip for an extended duration, we will need to request permit extensions a few days in advance.
When it comes to weight limits for skips, we consider that each cubic yard can hold approximately one tonne of waste. For example, a 3-yard skip can accommodate about 3 tonnes, while a 4-yard skip can hold around 4 tonnes, and so forth. Although you can fill smaller and medium-sized skips (ranging from 2 to 8 yards) to their full capacity with heavy items like rubble and soil, it’s advisable to mix lighter and heavier waste in larger skips due to the weight restrictions of the loading truck.
If you need to obtain a skip permit for placing your skip on council property, please adhere to the following guidelines:
