Do you need a skip permit to hire a skip?
A skip permit is required if you plan to place your skip on a public road, pavement, or any council-controlled area. This regulation ensures that your skip does not obstruct public access or safety.
Permits are not needed if the skip will be on private property, like a driveway or within a garden, provided it does not extend onto a public pathway.
