Yes. Only if you are placing a skip on any part of the public highway.
This includes roads and pavements managed by Kent County Council in the Tunbridge Wells borough.
No permit is necessary for placing on private property (driveway or garden).
For small household tasks like a garage clear-out, a 4-yard mini skip is ideal. For building work involving heavy rubble, the 6-yard or 8-yard builder’s skip is the best value. If you are clearing out a full house of light items and furniture, a larger 10 yard or 12-yard skip provides maximum volume.
Yes, old sofas, chairs, and most types of household furniture are permitted in a general mixed waste skip. These items are classified as bulky waste.
But please remove any electrical components from reclining chairs or sofa beds before placing them in the skip, as these must be treated as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
For narrow streets near the Pantiles or the town centre, we recommend choosing a small skip or wait-and-load service instead of a long-stay roadside skip. Please confirm before booking a skip.
