If a skip needs to sit on a public road in the Wiltshire Council area, a permit is required from the highway authority under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. The skip firm typically applies for this. No permit fee information is currently confirmed for Wiltshire Council, so check directly at wiltshire.gov.uk. As a householder, you also have a legal duty of care to check that anyone you pay to remove your waste is a registered waste carrier. Failing to do so can result in a fixed penalty of between £150 and £600, with a default of £200.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Chippenham?
If the skip will be placed on a public highway, yes, a permit is required from the highway authority. Under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, a skip must not be put on a highway without the authority's permission, and conditions may apply on siting, size, lighting, marking and removal. If the skip goes entirely on private land such as a driveway, no road permit is needed. Five firms in the area state they will arrange the permit on your behalf.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Chippenham is a registered waste carrier?
You can search the Environment Agency's public register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers. A firm that carries other people's waste needs upper-tier registration. Five of the 22 firms listed on SkipCheck for the Chippenham area are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, verified on 30 September 2026. Note that from August 2025 the government announced that waste carrier registrations will be replaced by environmental permits or registered exemptions over three years at renewal.
Hazardous waste such as asbestos cannot go in a standard skip, and fridges and equipment containing ozone-depleting substances also count as hazardous and require separate disposal. Plasterboard and other gypsum waste must not go to landfill mixed with biodegradable waste, and whole or shredded tyres are banned from landfill entirely. Skip firms will usually ask you to keep these materials out of the skip or separate them. Always confirm restrictions with your chosen firm before filling.
Four of the 22 firms listed for the Chippenham area publish a starting price on their websites. The lowest published starting price is £100 and the highest is £150. These are the figures firms publish and may not reflect the final cost, which can vary depending on skip size, hire duration, waste type and whether a road permit is required. Check directly with individual firms for a full quote based on your specific requirements.
