When you hire your skip, there will be occasions that require the use of a Road Permit. A permit is needed when the skip needs to be placed on the public highway (roads, highways & pavements). The permit must be up to date and valid for the type of waste that is going in the skip.
Permits’ are issued by your local county council. Cost and regulations will vary greatly for different councils and are subject to the Highways Act 1980: section 139 road traffic regulations act, 1984.
Common variants include :
Generally skip permits will be arranged by the supplier. Certain areas will require you ‘the customer’ to apply for the permit directly with your local council. Again, different councils will have different procedures for this. Any information needed can be obtained via your council website. You will find access to your local council’s website by visiting :https://www.gov.uk/find-local-council

Consider hiring an enclosed skip. Enclosed skips are lockable to prevent unauthorised access. They are also the safest type of skip as they stop contents from falling out or overhanging, and stop dust from flying up when items are put into the skip.
Make sure you have any necessary planning permission and that you’re following building regulations for your project.
