If a skip needs to sit on a public road in Trowbridge, a permit is required from Wiltshire Council under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. The skip company normally applies, and five firms in the directory say they handle this. No permit fee figure is confirmed for Wiltshire at present. If you pay someone to remove your household waste, you have a legal duty to check they are a registered waste carrier. Wiltshire Council can issue a fixed penalty of between £150 and £600, defaulting to £200, if you fail to do so.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Trowbridge?
If the skip is placed on a public road or pavement, yes. Under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, the highway authority's permission is required before a skip is put on a highway, and that permission can include conditions on siting, lighting, marking and removal. No permit is needed if the skip sits entirely on private land, such as a driveway. Five firms in the directory say they will arrange the road permit on your behalf.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Trowbridge is a registered waste carrier?
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, and you can search by company name or location. Six of the 30 firms listed on SkipCheck for the Trowbridge area are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as verified on 30 September 2026. You can also check any firm yourself using the public register search tool.
Hazardous waste such as asbestos cannot go in a standard skip, and fridges and other equipment containing ozone-depleting substances also count as hazardous and need 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, so skip firms typically ask that these materials are kept separate or left out of the skip altogether.
Four of the 30 listed firms publish a starting price. The lowest published starting price is £100 and the highest starting price published by any of these four firms is £150. These are the prices firms have chosen to show on their own websites and the actual cost will vary depending on skip size, hire length and location. Prices for larger skips or specialist services are not confirmed in the published figures available.
