Budget skips in Ludlow Facts and Questions

Do i need a permit to hire a skip?

I have been told I will need a permit, can you arrange this?

If you are planning to have the skip on your own property you will not need a permit. However, if you are planning to position your skip on a highway, it will require a council permit.

You do not need to do anything yourself, we will obtain the permit for you; it is our responsibility.

So please bear this in mind when planning how far in advance you book your skip, and how much you budget.
