Skip licences

Placing a skip on the highway without first applying for, and being granted a licence is an offence under The Highways Act and may result in prosecution.

The skip owner (supplier) is responsible for ensuring that skips are positioned on the highway in such a way that they do not cause an obstruction to other road users. The supplier is also responsible for making sure all appropriate regulations are followed.

Note: It is the skip company's responsibility to obtain a skip licence.

Before applying you are strongly advised to to read our Guidelines for placing a builders skip on the highway.
