Bath and North East Somerset Council does not publish a set fee for its skip permit; check with the council or your skip firm for the current cost. Skip suppliers or contractors apply for the licence, and homeowners may only apply jointly with them. The council says urgent applications take 2 days to process and others up to 5 days. If you pay someone to take your waste, you must check they are allowed to carry it, or your council can fine you between £150 and £600.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Bath?
Yes, if the skip goes on the public highway. Bath and North East Somerset Council does not publish a set fee for the permit, so check current costs with the council or your skip firm. Skip suppliers or contractors apply for the licence; homeowners may only apply together with the supplier or contractor, not on their own. The council says urgent applications take 2 days to process, with others taking up to 5 days.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Bath is a registered waste carrier?
Of the 43 firms SkipCheck lists for Bath, 7 are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, checked on 6 October 2026. You can search the Environment Agency's public register yourself, which lists registered waste carriers, brokers and dealers; a skip firm carrying other people's waste needs upper-tier registration. If you pay someone to take your waste without checking, your council can issue a fixed penalty between £150 and £600, so it is worth checking before you book.
Hazardous waste such as asbestos needs special disposal and cannot simply go in a skip; equipment containing ozone-depleting substances, like fridges, also counts as hazardous. Plasterboard and other gypsum waste must not go to landfill mixed with biodegradable waste, and whole or shredded tyres are banned from landfill altogether, so skip firms usually ask for these to be kept separate or left out of the skip entirely. Always check with your chosen firm before loading these items.
Of the 43 firms SkipCheck lists for Bath, 3 publish a starting price online, with figures ranging from £100 to £150, and these are what the firms themselves publish; most firms do not quote a price online, so ask directly. The council permit for placing a skip on the road is separate from the hire cost, and Bath and North East Somerset Council does not publish a set fee for it, so check with the council.
