Do you need a skip?

Limited for space at your property? There’s no question that hiring a skip is more convenient and the most effective option when faced with large amounts of waste. However, if you’re are struggling for space, have access issues, or only have a small to medium about of rubbish to remove, then you could consider skip bags as an easier alternative.

Do you need permission to hire a skip?

This really depends on the kind of property you’re on. If you’re a homeowner looking to hire a skip, then you can do so without consulting elsewhere if you meet the following criteria:

You have privately owned space such as a driveway, front or back garden
You live on a private road

Cases where you will be required to get a permit for your skip include:

If you’re placing a skip on a public highway
If you’re placing a skip on a public road

To obtain a skip permit in Liverpool, you can contact your local council or speak directly with the skip hire company who may be able to request a skip hire permit on your behalf.

Where are you allowed to put a skip?

In short, your skip can go anywhere as long as the proper permissions have been granted. In cases where you live on privately owned land, you can place a hired skip anywhere, and this remains the case on both commercial and residential properties.

For those living on private roads that are not owned by the council, a skip can be placed on the road – although we do advise you speak with neighbours first as a courtesy.

If you live on a main road with no drive or garden but require the use of a hired skip, then you will need to look into a skip hire permit to avoid penalties. It is also worth confirming with your local council and the skip hire company you use about safety measures, such as cones and lights for night time use.
