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.

What is waste management?
Waste management is the process of collecting, transporting, sorting, recycling, and safely disposing of waste materials. It ensures that rubbish is handled responsibly and in line with environmental regulations. As an authorised waste management company, Hire A Skip UK is fully licensed to manage waste across the UK, helping customers dispose of materials safely, legally, and with minimal environmental impact.
What are the different types of waste?
Waste is generally classified into several categories, each requiring different methods of disposal or recycling. Understanding the type of waste you’re dealing with helps ensure it’s managed responsibly and in line with environmental regulations:
- Household Waste: Everyday rubbish such as packaging, food scraps, paper, and general refuse.
- Garden Waste: Grass clippings, branches, leaves, soil, and other organic materials from outdoor spaces.
- Construction & Demolition Waste: Bricks, concrete, timber, plasterboard, and rubble from building projects.
- Commercial & Industrial Waste: Waste produced by businesses, including packaging, office waste, and light manufacturing waste.
- Hazardous Waste: Includes chemicals, asbestos, batteries, paint, and other materials that require specialist disposal.
What can you put in a skip?
Skips can be used for a wide range of materials, including general household rubbish, wood, plastic, metal, furniture, green waste, and construction debris. However, hazardous items like asbestos, batteries, chemicals, gas cylinders, and electrical appliances are not allowed. For a full list, check out our skip hire guidelines.
Where do skips get emptied?
Once a skip is collected, it’s transported to a licensed waste transfer station or recycling facility. Here, the contents are sorted to separate recyclable materials from non-recyclables. At Hire A Skip UK, we aim to recycle 100% of the waste we collect to reduce landfill use.
How to get a skip?
Hiring a skip is simple. Just head to our Book Now page, choose the skip size you need, tell us what type of waste you’re disposing of, and select your delivery date. If your skip needs to go on a public road, we’ll arrange the skip permit for you too. Once you’re done, we’ll collect and dispose of your waste, hassle free.
