If you need to keep a skip on a highway, you’ll need to apply for a licence.

How to get a skip licence

You can only apply for a skip licence if you’re a company who holds a waste carriers licence and at least £10 million public liability insurance.

Apply for a skip licence

  • As of January 2025, the charge is £122 per calendar month.
  • It allows you to keep your skip in a parking bay that you have arranged to be suspended, or on a single yellow line directly outside the property (if this does not impact traffic or access to premises).
  • Your application will take five days to process.
