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.

Waste acceptance

The hirer, their agent or employees, must not place any hazardous waste or chemicals into the
container without first seeking the consent of the company. This included but not limited to
:electrical appliances, fluorescent light tubes, batteries fridges, freezers and air-conditioning
units, TV’s and monitors paints (including residues inside paint cans), solvents, aerosols and
gas canisters liquids, oil, fuel and other automotive fluids plasterboard, asbestos, roofing felt,
tyres, railway sleepers, astro turf, clinical or medical waste, toxic materials and large tree
trunks. Should those materials end up in a skip without prior arrangement, there is the
possibility that an excess charge will be applied to cover the disposal cost.
