Seven skip hire firms are listed on SkipCheck for Yeovil and the surrounding area, covering roughly 15 miles across Somerset and Wiltshire. Between them they offer mini, midi, builders and maxi skips, with two firms also offering grab hire and two offering wait-and-load service. Four firms state they can arrange a skip permit on your behalf, one firm publishes a starting price on its website, and one states it can deliver the same or next day. All seven firms state they run their own lorries, and none are booking agents.
If your skip needs to sit on a public road, Somerset Council requires a permit under the Highways Act 1980. Licences are only issued to accredited contractors, so your skip firm must apply rather than you. Somerset Council charges £109 for 28 days and asks for at least 10 working days' notice. As a householder, you also have a legal duty to check that whoever removes your waste is permitted to do so: failing to check can result in a fixed penalty of between £150 and £600.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Yeovil?
If the skip is placed on a public highway, yes. Under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, a skip must not be placed on a highway without the highway authority's permission. In Somerset, the permit costs £109 for 28 days and £109 to extend. The council only issues licences to accredited contractors, so your skip firm must apply. Somerset Council asks for at least 10 working days' notice. No permit is needed for a skip on your own private land.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Yeovil is a registered waste carrier?
Use the Environment Agency's public register, which lists registered waste carriers, brokers and dealers. A skip company carrying other people's waste needs upper-tier registration. You can search by firm name at the link below. Four of the seven firms listed on SkipCheck for the Yeovil area are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as verified on 30 September 2026. If you hire a firm that is not registered, you could face a fixed penalty of between £150 and £600.
Hazardous waste such as asbestos cannot go in a standard skip, and fridges and 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. As a result, skip firms usually ask that these materials are kept separate or left out of the skip altogether.
Only one of the seven firms listed for the Yeovil area publishes a starting price on its website, and no specific figure is recorded in our data for this area. Prices will vary depending on skip size, hire length and location. To get an accurate figure, request quotes directly from firms listed on SkipCheck. Bear in mind that if your skip goes on a public road, Somerset Council's permit fee of £109 for 28 days may be added to your quote.
