A Guide to Junk Removal and Skip Permits

Navigating the world of junk removal can sometimes bring up questions, especially when it comes to permits. At CLEAR JUNK, we want to make the process as straightforward as possible. A key factor is understanding when and why you might need a permit for your junk removal project.

Do I need a permit for my junk removal?

The simple answer depends on where the waste container will be placed.

On Private Land: If you have private property like a driveway, front garden, or a private road, you typically will not need a permit to place a skip there. This is the easiest and most common scenario.

On a Public Highway or Road: If you plan to place a skip on any public land, such as a street or pavement, you will be required to obtain a permit from your local council. This is a legal requirement to ensure the skip doesn't obstruct traffic, block access, or pose a safety risk to the public.

Our team at CLEAR JUNK can help guide you through this process. We understand the local regulations and can advise you on the best course of action to ensure your project is compliant and hassle-free.
