What is a skip permit?

A skip permit is an official document issued by the local council that allows you to place a skip on public land such as a public road or footpath. This permit ensures that the skip hire company has permission to place the skip in an area where it will obstruct public access. The skip permit also outlines the guidelines for the use of the skip on a public highway, allowing the council to monitor its usage, safety and correct positioning.

When do I require a skip permit?

Skip permits are required when the skip is placed on a public location such as highways, pavements, footpaths, as well as for placing the skip on private property with restricted access.

The general rule of thumb is that if the skip is placed on private land, for example, a driveway, a permit is not necessary. However, if the skip is placed on the public land such as the roads or footpaths, a skip permit is mandatory.

The necessity of the skip permit in Warwickshire is in compliance with the state rules and regulations. Failing to secure a permit could result in hefty fines and the removal of the skip by the local council, resulting in added cost for the skip hire company.
