Skip Hire and Permits

You will need to obtain the skip from a skip company (you can find one through the Yellow Pages or a local paper).

A licence is required to place a skip on the Highway, but the skip hire company will apply to the Highway Authority for one on your behalf. There is a non-refundable licence fee of £20 per month - this should be included as part of the hire cost.

The skip company will deliver and remove the skip and they must meet the requirements set down in the licence and by the local Highway Office.
