SkipCheck lists 13 skip and grab hire firms serving Weymouth and the area around it, about 15 miles out. They offer mini, midi, builder's and maxi skips, plus grab hire and wait-and-load, with midi, builder's and maxi skips each available from five firms. Only two of the 13 are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, checked on 6 October 2026. Two firms publish a starting price, though the figures aren't given here, and nine say they deliver same or next day. Three say they arrange the permit, and the 13 firms split evenly between those running their own lorries and those acting as booking agents.
Dorset Council charges £93 for a new skip licence, valid 14 days, with £47 to renew for another 14 days; a further £93 charge applies if the skip isn't removed before the licence expires. You hire from a skip company, which applies for the licence, so check it won't run out before your work is finished. The council asks for at least two weeks' notice. Anyone paying someone to take their waste must still check the firm is allowed to carry it.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Weymouth?
Yes, if the skip goes on the public highway. Under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, a skip can't be placed on the road without the highway authority's permission. In Weymouth, you hire from a skip company, which applies to Dorset Council on your behalf, at least two weeks before the skip is needed. A new licence costs £93 and lasts 14 days, with £47 to renew for another 14 days, so check the firm's licence will cover the whole job.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Weymouth is a registered waste carrier?
A skip company that carries other people's waste needs upper-tier registration as a waste carrier, broker or dealer, which you can check on the Environment Agency's public register. SkipCheck checked which of Weymouth's 13 listed firms are on the register as of 6 October 2026; only two were, so it's worth checking carefully before booking. The government has announced these registrations will eventually be replaced by environmental permits or registered exemptions, with upper-tier firms moving over at renewal across the next three years.
Hazardous waste, such as asbestos, needs special disposal and can't go in an ordinary 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 most skip firms ask for these to be kept separate or left out of the skip entirely. Always check with your chosen firm before loading anything you're unsure about.
Of the 13 firms SkipCheck lists for Weymouth, two publish a starting price on their own website, though the specific figures aren't shown here, so ask these and the rest for a direct quote. If the skip needs to go on the road, Dorset Council's licence fee of £93 for 14 days, or £47 to renew, sits on top of the skip firm's own charge.
