When an 8-yard skip needs a permit
A driveway, private yard or building site is usually the simplest place, as long as the lorry can reach it and the ground is strong enough.
If any part of the skip will sit on a public road, check the rules with the local council or skip company before delivery. Do not place a skip on the pavement.
Who arranges an 8-yard skip permit?
In many areas, the skip company applies for you. Some councils use a different process, so ask who will apply and how long it may take before choosing your delivery date.

Book early if you need a permit
A permit may take several working days. Share the exact position and preferred dates early, especially if the skip will use a parking bay or sit on a busy street.
