A skip on the public highway in North East Lincolnshire needs a permit from North East Lincolnshire Council; the registered skip company applies through the council's online form, providing public liability insurance and Environment Agency registration. Fees run from £26 for up to 7 days, £36 for 8 to 14 days, up to £71 for a month, with extensions at £26 per extra week or £71 per extra month. No permit is needed if the skip sits on private property with no encroachment on to the highway.
Common questions
Do I need a permit for a skip in Grimsby?
It depends where the skip goes. Under section 139 of the Highways Act 1980, a builder's skip can't be placed on a highway without the highway authority's permission. North East Lincolnshire Council charges £26 for up to 7 days, £36 for 8 to 14 days and £71 for a month, with extensions at £26 per extra week or £71 per extra month. The registered skip company applies online and must hold public liability insurance. No permit is needed on private property with no encroachment on to the highway.
How do I check a skip hire firm in Grimsby is a registered waste carrier?
The Environment Agency's public register lists registered waste carriers, brokers and dealers, and a skip firm carrying other people's waste needs upper-tier registration on it. You can search the register yourself before booking. Of the firms listed for Grimsby, 1 is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, checked on 6 October 2026. North East Lincolnshire Council also requires skip companies to hold Environment Agency registration before it issues a permit. A council fixed penalty of £150 to £600 applies if you use an unauthorised carrier.
Hazardous waste such as asbestos needs special disposal, and equipment containing ozone-depleting substances, such as fridges, counts as hazardous, so it shouldn't go in a general skip. Plasterboard and other gypsum waste must not go to landfill with biodegradable waste, and whole or shredded tyres are banned from landfill, so skip firms usually ask for these to be kept separate or left out. Skip bags such as hippobags are covered by the same permit rules as skips, so check what your chosen firm can take.
Skip hire prices around Grimsby aren't widely published: only 1 of the 14 firms listed gives a starting price on its website, so no price range is available. Firms typically quote based on skip size, how long you need it and your location, so it's worth asking a few for a price before booking. A highway permit, if needed, costs from £26 for up to 7 days, rising to £71 for a month, on top of the skip firm's own charge.
