Skip Hire for Swansea |
Do you have all the required permits and licenses?
You must obtain a skip permit from the local government before putting a skip on any public road or pavement. Skip licenses are in place to limit the number of skips that can be placed on the road, because they take up valuable real estate and have the potential to disrupt traffic flow and parking spaces. If you don't have a skip permit, it's against the law, and you risk a fine and the skip being removed at any moment. You do not need a permit if you place a skip on private property, such as your driveway, a field, or a private road.
If a skip hiring company is caught operating without a license, they might face fines of up to £5,000. The Skip Hire UK Licensing Regulations provide no necessity for skip hire companies to have a waste disposal licence, as long as they are personally liable for the rubbish they generate.
Skip permits and licenses are issued by local governments. Most of the time, the skip hire Swansea company will be able to apply for the skip permit on behalf of our clients. On the other hand, councils may require the person or business renting a skip to apply for a permit or license in some locations. We recommend that you visit your local council's website to learn more about your local jurisdiction's process and unique criteria. A skip permit usually is valid for one or two weeks, depending on the local authority issuing it. Most councils will enable you to extend this initial term (for an extra price) if you contact them in advance and let them know you need more time. You may be subject to a fine if you maintain a skip for a more extended period than the term allowed by your permission.
Although there can be circumstances where you won't need a permit for a skip, even if it is put on a roadside, not all roads are categorized as public highways. Unadopted roads are roads that do not have to be sufficiently maintained by the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980.
If you place your skip on your driveway or private property, you are not required to obtain a permit. A parking bay suspension license will also be necessary if you plan to place the skip in a council- or third-party-owned parking bay or area. This is comparable to obtaining a permit, except it is more expensive (typically roughly the same amount as the permit) and may take significantly longer. There will also be some limitations on the sizes of skips that can be transported on public highways. This, like many other criteria, can change from one location to the next because local councils determine the rules. Generally speaking, the largest skip that can be transported on a public roadway is an 8-yard skip, also known as builders skip. An 8-yard skip is sufficient for most household skip hire projects, so this should not be a problem.
