Cost of a Skip Rent Permit?

Sometimes, you might not have the right amount of space required on your private land for a Skip, in which case you’ll need to obtain a Skip permit to place on public land.

You must have a permit before the skip is placed on public land otherwise you could incur a financial penalty from your local council.

The cost of a Skip permit will differ dependent on hire period and your locality, but the Mick George Group can organise this for you.

Typically, we charge approximately £70 plus vat for a Skip permit, booked online.

Skip Rent Materials

Typically, the first thing that springs to mind when renting a skip, is what items can go in to a Skip. It’s important to know what can or can’t go inside your skip to avoid any avoidable charges or in some cases refusal to collect the skip.

Generally, Skip types are split as follows:

There are separate containers for WEEE Waste or asbestos, and hazardous waste streams

Does the Skip Rent duration affect the price?

How long you require the skip for will also affect the price you pay.

As would be expected, the longer the rental period, the higher the cost, so it’s good to have an idea when your Skip will be full.

Skip Rental durations differ in length, and while there are different hire periods, extending up to 2-weeks, there is the flexibility to increase or decrease any period if requested.

Skip Rental costs will alter accordingly.

What size Skip should I rent?

When comparing skip rent prices, the Skip size will play a big role in determining the skip hire cost. Smaller mini skips are less expensive than the maxi skip alternative, as the capacity of waste is lower.

To ensure you are not paying more than you need to, take a look at our skip size guide to help decide on correct size skip for your project. We offer a comprehensive range of Skip containers, from 2-yard to 40-yard cheap skip hire.
