Do I Need a Skip Permit in Merseyside?

A skip permit is required if your skip is placed on a public highway in Merseyside, such as roads, pavements, grass verges, or any land not fully within your private property. Even partial placement on public land requires a permit. No permit is needed for skips fully on private land, like your driveway, but you may need landlord or shared driveway user consent.

How OB Skips Handles Merseyside Skip Permits

At OB Skips, we simplify skip hire permits across Merseyside, covering Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, Wirral, and Halton. We liaise directly with councils to secure permits, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Our transparent pricing means you pay only the council’s fee, with no admin costs.

Avoiding Fines with Proper Skip Permits

Placing a skip on public land without a permit is illegal, risking significant fines. If a permit expires, councils may issue penalties if the skip remains on public land. OB Skips reserves the right to collect the skip on the day the permit expires to ensure compliance with regulations. If OB Skips is unable to collect the skip due to access issues on the scheduled collection date, the Customer may be liable for any fines or penalties incurred as a result. Additionally, OB Skips reserves the right to charge the Customer for any costs associated with failed collection attempts, including but not limited to administrative fees, additional transport costs, and any fines or penalties imposed by local authorities.”
