SkipCheck lists 11 skip and grab hire firms serving Yeovil 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 builder's skips the most widely offered at four firms. Six of the 11 are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, checked on 6 October 2026, a higher share than most other towns in this set. Only one firm publishes a starting price, though the figure isn't given here, and just two say they deliver same or next day. Three say they arrange the permit, and all 11 describe themselves as operators rather than booking agents.
Somerset Council charges £109 for a skip licence valid for 28 days, non-refundable, and £109 to extend it. Licences on the highway 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, unless it's an emergency application. Anyone paying someone to take their waste must still check the firm is allowed to carry it, or risk a council fixed penalty of between £150 and £600.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Yeovil?
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 Yeovil, Somerset Council only issues skip licences to accredited contractors, so your skip firm applies on your behalf. The licence costs £109 and is valid for 28 days, with £109 to extend it, and the council asks for at least 10 working days' notice unless it's an emergency application.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Yeovil 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 Yeovil's 11 listed firms are on the register as of 6 October 2026; 6 were. 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, so it's worth checking again nearer the time you book.
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 11 firms SkipCheck lists for Yeovil, only one publishes a starting price on its own website, and the figure isn't shown here, so most firms will need a direct call or quote request. If the skip needs to go on the road, Somerset Council's licence fee of £109 for 28 days, plus £109 to extend, is separate from the skip firm's own charge.
