If the skip is to be placed within your property, no licence is required, therefore you may approach any skip company of your choice. Where practicable, skips should be placed within property boundaries.
Where it is necessary to place a skip on any part of the highway (pavement, verge or the side of the road), you will need to contact a skip company which is currently registered with us. The skip company will apply for the necessary licence which operates for a period of up to four weeks.
In some circumstances it may be necessary for us to turn down applications because the proposed site is considered to be potentially hazardous to the travelling public.
It is important to remember that skips placed on the highway are potentially hazardous obstructions. The licence includes a number of conditions for the skip hire company including signing and lighting which can be viewed from the pdf file below.
Although we are unable to make recommendations you can view a list of companies on our skip register.
For further information e-mail contact.centre@surreycc.gov.uk or if urgent phone 0300 200 1003.
