FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a permit to place a skip on a public road in Reading?

While you do not require a permit from the Reading Borough Council to place a skip on private land such as your driveway, you do require a permit if you intend to place a skip on a public road, pathway, or other thoroughfare. You may not place skips on certain roads in the town centre without special permission given only in exceptional circumstances.

What may and may not be placed in skips in Reading?

You are allowed to place garden waste such as fence panels and grass trimmings, building waste such as bricks and wallpaper, general household waste such as food packaging, and other non-hazardous waste such as clothing, textiles, and paper in skips in Reading.

You may not place potentially harmful or hazardous waste such as food waste, medical waste, asbestos, batteries, gas cylinders and other pressurised containers, tyres, paint, chemicals, solvents, petrol, diesel, oil, fluorescent tubes, electrical items, fridges, or freezers in skips.

How long can I hire a skip for?

While you can hire a skip for as long as your project or operations require one, you do need to take permit expiry dates into account if you want to place the skip on a public road. The council issues skip permits that are valid for up to four weeks. If you require the skip for longer, we will apply for a new permit on your behalf.

Road Sizes and Permits for Skip Hire in Reading

Understanding Road Sizes

Residential streets: Many streets in residential areas are narrow, and this lack of space may affect the intended accessibility and placement of the skip. Take the amount of space available into consideration when hiring a skip in Reading.

Commercial areas: Reading Borough Council has additional restrictions and regulations which apply to skips in or near commercial areas. Ensure that the skip’s intended location complies with any relevant regulations to avoid penalties. 

Major roads: You may need to work with local traffic authorities, do more planning, and implement additional safety measures if you intend to place a skip on an important road or in an area with high traffic.

Permit Requirements

When permits are needed: In Reading, you may not place a skip on a public road, pathway, pavement, or verge without a permit. The permit application process ensures that the skip placement won’t obstruct traffic or pedestrians.

How to obtain a permit: In keeping with Reading Borough Council regulations, we will apply for a Reading skip hire permit on your behalf. We will ensure that the application complies with local regulations and includes information about the duration of hire, skip size, and placement location.

Permit costs: There is a fee associated with obtaining a skip permit from the council, which depends on the duration of the permit and the intended location of the skip. Our friendly staff will keep you informed about these costs during the application process.

Permit duration: The council issues Reading skip hire permits that are valid for up to four weeks. If you need the skip for a longer time, we can apply for a new permit on your behalf before the initial permit expires.

Additional Tips

Check local regulations: Always check for special regulations with the Reading Borough Council before placing a skip in your area.

Consider safety: The placement of the skip you hire should never pose a safety hazard to road users such as drivers or pedestrians. In addition to ensuring adequate signage is displayed, you may need to put barriers or other safety measures in place.

Coordinate with neighbours: If you’re going to place the skip near houses or flats, minimise any inconvenience by letting the neighbours know well before the skip is delivered.
