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. Permits will require an additional fee and the local council can reject an application, without refunding the cost. A great alternative to a road permit is a wait and load service. 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.

The ideal location is on a driveway. You won't need a permit, which will reduce the overall cost of your hire. It will also provide easy access for filling the skip and avoid any risk from passing traffic. Just make sure there is enough space on the driveway for the size you have ordered.

Waste Disposal Companies

If you’re considering hiring a man and van or a private waste removal service, be cautious of unlicensed operators to avoid fines if your waste is fly-tipped. With an increase in untrustworthy companies, it's important to ensure you select a legal and licensed waste carrier. You can verify a company's waste carrier license through the government website to ensure they comply with regulations.
