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

How long can I hire a skip for?
You can hire a skip in Southampton for as long as you need. However, you can only keep a skip on a road, pathway, or verge if you have a valid permit, which will be valid for up to 28 days. We will apply for a permit renewal if you require the skip for longer.

Road Sizes and Permits for Skip Hire in Southampton
Understanding Road Sizes
Residential streets: The numerous narrow residential streets in Southampton, especially in older residential areas, might impact your intended skip location as well as how you access it. Think carefully when choosing the size, paying special attention to the amount of street space available, before you hire a skip in Southampton.
Commercial areas: If you’re going to place a skip in one of the city’s commercial or industrial areas, make sure that your chosen location is in line with any of the city council’s additional regulations or restrictions for business premises.
Major roads: You may need to collaborate with local authorities for traffic management, do additional planning, or take additional safety measures if you plan to place a skip on a major road or in another area with heavy traffic.
Permit Requirements
When permits are needed: You require a Southampton skip hire permit if you intend to place a skip on a public road, pavement, pathway, or verge. The council will approve the application if the skip placement does not obstruct traffic or pedestrians.
How to obtain a permit: According to city council regulations, only licensed skip providers may apply for permits. Our friendly staff will apply for a permit on your behalf, making sure it satisfies the necessary requirements.
Permit costs: The city council’s fee for a standard Southampton skip hire license is £36 per week. The license can be renewed for a further £36 per week. We will provide guidance on these and any other costs involved in your permit application.
Permit duration: The Southampton City Council issues skip permits valid for one week at a time. However, thanks to permit renewals, you can place the skip on a public road for up to 28 days.
Additional Tips
Check local regulations: The city council might have extra requirements or relevant regulations specific to your area. Check for these with the council before booking skip hire in Southampton.
Consider safety: Make sure that the skip placement does not put the safety of drivers or pedestrians at risk. If necessary, set up safety measures such as signage, barriers, and lighting and/or reflectors.
Coordinate with neighbours: Inform neighbours if you intend to place the skip near residential properties to minimise or avoid inconvenience.
