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 Bridgwater?
Yes, if the skip goes on the public highway. Somerset Council charges £109 for a permit lasting 28 days, which is non-refundable, with a further £109 to extend it. Licences are only issued to accredited contractors, so your skip firm applies on your behalf, and the council asks for at least 10 working days' notice; only emergency applications are processed with less. Under the Highways Act 1980, the highway authority's permission can come with conditions on siting, size, lighting and marking.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Bridgwater is a registered waste carrier?
Of the 11 firms SkipCheck lists for Bridgwater, 4 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.
Only 1 of the 11 firms SkipCheck lists for Bridgwater publishes a starting price online, and no figure is given in these facts, so ask firms directly for a quote. On top of the hire cost, a skip placed on the road also needs a council permit from Somerset Council, which costs £109 for 28 days, non-refundable, with a further £109 to extend it.
