Skip licenses/permits
You may need a skip licence (also called a skip permit) if your skip is located on a public highway. Wasteology can apply for the licence from your local authority on your behalf. All waste materials are treated at our waste transfer station where recycling is optimised when processed through our material recovery facility.
