Do You Need a Skip Permit in Cambridge?

If your skip is placed on a public road or other public land in Cambridge, a permit may be required. If it is placed on private land such as a driveway, yard, or other off-road space, a permit is usually not needed. We can advise you on whether a permit is likely to be required for your location and help guide you through the process where needed. Before delivery, it is important to make sure there is suitable space for the skip, clear access for the lorry, and enough notice if permit approval could affect the delivery date.
