Essential Information
Do I need a permit?
If you’re planning to place the skip on your own private land, you won’t need a permit.
If you intend to have it situated on a road or on other public land, you’ll probably need a permit. We have to apply for the permit on your behalf as it’s only skip companies that can apply for permits. Contact us for free advice to find out more.
