To place a skip on the road you need a licence in accordance with the Highways Act. This should be obtained by the company providing the skip.
The skip company will need to provide the following information:
- name of skip company;
- location;
- start and completion date.
This can be done by phoning the local authority, contact Suffolk County Council - phone 0845 6066067 or email customerservices@csduk.com.
Please note
A licence will only be issued to a company who has the correct and appropriate insurance and there will be a charge of £25 for skips.
If the skip is on your own property then you will not need a licence but if you are a tenant of a Havebury or other housing trust property, then you may need their permission.
Permission may be given subject to conditions which may relate to the following:
-
- siting of skip
- skip dimensions
- making skips visible to traffic
- care and disposal of skip contents
- lighting and guarding of skips
- skip removal
