If you don’t have enough space on your driveway or front garden for a skip, you can place it on the road outside your house but only once you have requested and been granted a skip permit from Southampton City Council. A permit will be granted on the basis that safety and any potential disruption to the public have been assessed and approved. For guidance speak with us today.

It's important to fill your skip only to the level of its sides and avoid materials spilling over the top or sides of the skip.
