Do You Need a Permit?
Whether or not you require a skip hire permit in Edinburgh is determined by where the skip will be positioned. If your skip will be placed on your own land like a garden, a permit won’t be needed. However, if it needs to be located on public land, such as a street, or car park, you will require a permit from your city authority.
Permits usually need 42 to 5 working days to process, so it’s essential to plan ahead. The cost and validity of the permit can vary depending on the council’s regulations. If you’re uncertain about the process, don’t worry—we can guide you with the application to make sure everything is in place for a seamless skip hire experience.
