Placing the skip on private land (driveway, private forecourt, yard), a permit is not required.
If placing a skip on the public road, a permit is required from a local council, and in controlled parking zones, you may also need a bay suspension.
We can arrange the permit for you. Most permits last 7–14 days and cost around £55–£110. Councils usually need 3–5 working days’ notice. Learn more about skip permit.
Allowed (typical): Wood, metal, plastics, soil, rubble, bricks, tiles, furniture, green waste
Not allowed: Asbestos, chemicals, paints/solvents, gas bottles, tyres, clinical waste, fridges/freezers, batteries, liquids
Tip: If you’re unsure about a specific item, such as plasterboard or mattresses, we’ll confirm what’s permitted or recommend an alternative disposal solution.
In all over the UK, skips are measured in cubic yards. You can easily calculate it yourself:
Cubic Yards = (Length in feet × Width in feet × Height in feet) ÷ 27
1 yd = 3 ft , so 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic feet yd=3 ft,so 3×3×3=27 cubic feet
