Skip companies
If you want to place a skip on a road, the company that supplies the skip should apply to the Highway Authority for a skip permit on your behalf.
Applications for permits are only accepted from the skip company – they are not accepted from members of the public. The following information is therefore aimed at skip companies.
We deal with skip permit applications for the whole of Nottinghamshire.
How to get a permit
The permit consists of two parts:
Nottinghamshire County Council Standard Conditions
These set out the requirements and legal obligations that you will have to fulfil in order to place a skip on the road. A copy of these must be signed and dated and returned with your initial application form and any other documentation such as insurance certificates, to your area or agent office.
Once a signed copy of this has been received it is kept on file, so for any future applications made, only an application form is necessary. However, when the standard conditions are amended, a new copy must be signed, dated and returned to your area or agent office.
Combined application form/permit
-
You must fill in all the details requested and sign and date the section confirming you have received and signed a copy of the Standard Conditions

Once the application form is correctly completed, the Area Highway Office will check that the proposed location for the skip is acceptable

If there is a requirement for additional conditions, these should be noted on the application form in the relevant section

Skip permits are granted for two weeks initially and can be extended for a further two weeks free of charge but after this time a new permit will be required.
Skip permit charges
We charge skip companies £26 for consideration of an application to place a skip on the road. This is a non-returnable charge per application made. A further charge of £7 is made if an invoice is requested, to cover our administration costs.
If a skip is placed on the road without a valid permit we charge an inspection fee of £72 in addition to the £26 permit application fee - a total of £98.
