Do You Need a Permit?

Whether or not you have to obtain a skip hire permit in Folkestone hinges on where the skip will be positioned. If your skip will be situated on a private driveway like a driveway, a permit won’t be needed. However, if it needs to be positioned on a public space, such as a road, or car park, you will have to obtain a permit from your local authority.

Permits usually take up to a week to process, so it’s necessary to apply early. The price and length of the permit can vary depending on the council’s requirements. If you’re confused about the process, don’t worry—we can guide you with the application to make sure everything is in place for a smooth skip hire experience.
