What is a skip hire permit?
There’s no denying skips are intrusive, especially when you have them for more than just a few days.
If you don’t have a driveway or front garden to put your skip on, you’ll have to place it on the roadside in front of your house. Due to the disturbance this could cause for neighbours and traffic, a permit is required.
The permit ensures that the skip is in a safe position and in accordance with local requirements.
How do I get a skip hire permit?
If you need a permit for skip hire Bolton, we can sort it out for you.
Simply tell us where you’re planning on putting your skip in your application and we’ll tell you if you need one or not. From here, we’ll get in touch with the relevant services in your area and organise one for you, for as long as you need it.
It’s a good idea to check with your local council before you apply for anything, as some require you to apply directly to them, rather than the skip company applying on your behalf.
If you have any further questions on this, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Are they expensive?
The price of a permit depends on where you live. Each area has different regulations when it comes to skips, so it’s worth checking before you book anything.
For the areas we cover here at A1 Skips, the price for a skip permit ranges from £15-£40. This price also depends on how long you’ll be hiring the skip for – as we offer skip hire Bolton for a maximum of three weeks, we can supply permits for 7-28 days.

What if I don’t have a skip hire permit?
If your skip is on public land without a permit, you will face a fine. Although this will be issued to the skip company, it’s usually pushed to the customer, and they will have to organise payment.
