Bristol City Council charges £90 for a skip permit lasting a calendar month, rising to £144 a month for a retrospective permit. Only the company that owns the skip can apply, so your skip hire firm gets the permit on your behalf. 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 Bristol?
Yes, if the skip goes on the public highway. Bristol City Council charges £90 for a permit lasting a calendar month, rising to £144 a month for a retrospective permit if a skip is placed before applying. Only the company that owns the skip can apply, so your skip hire firm handles this on your behalf, and the council asks for the application at least 5 working days before the skip goes on the road.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Bristol is a registered waste carrier?
Of the 36 firms SkipCheck lists for Bristol, 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 36 firms SkipCheck lists for Bristol 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, placing a skip on the road also needs a council permit; Bristol City Council charges £90 for a calendar month, rising to £144 a month for a retrospective permit.
