Do I need a permit for skip hire?
When it comes to skip hire, whether or not a permit is required typically depends on where the skip will be placed. If a skip is to be located on private property, such as a driveway or a garden, a permit is generally not necessary. However, if the skip needs to be positioned on public land, such as a road or pavement, a permit is usually required from the local council. The regulations may vary by location, so it is important to check with the relevant authorities regarding the specific requirements in your area. Biffa, as a waste management service provider, can offer guidance on this matter as well.
