Skip Hire Direct

Information - location

Ideally the skip is should be sited within your own property boundaries; in this case you do not need a licence and can use any skip company of your choice. If you have to place the skip on any area of the highway (a footpath, the verge or roadside), you need to use a skip company who is registered with your local authority. They will request the necessary licence on your behalf. The licence normally lasts up to four weeks or one calendar month.

Occasionally skip licence applications may be rejected because the proposed site is potentially dangerous to the public. A skip licence comes with conditions for the skip hire firm to comply with. These may vary by local authority. Skips sited on the highway should be safe, properly signed and carry lights during the hours of darkness.

Access to Site

You should be careful about planning where you are going to site your skip and think about how the site will be accessed by the vehicle delivering and collecting your skip. You should try to avoid blocking your own access and should certainly not block access for any neighbours. If you envisage problems, then consider a "wait and load" service or a grab truck service.
