Yes, you can put a skip on the road. Placing on the road requires a skip permit. This can be organised by JustHire, just select skip placement as "on-road" during your checkout.

This is where the skip is lowered, you then have 30 minutes to fill before it is collected again. This can be done on a public road and does not require a permit. During your order just select the "wait and load" option for this service.
