Skip permit application
To apply for a skip permit on the Highway (public road) you must be registered with Birmingham City Council.
There is no charge to register, but you will need to supply us with your Public Liability Insurance and Waste Carrier Licence details.
Once registered, you can apply for skip permits.

When applying for a skip permit, you’ll need to enter your unique SKP (provided when you registered) and Waste Carrier references.
You will need to provide details of where you want to place the skip, including:
- Building number/name and postcode of the customer who is hiring the skip (not the skip operator’s details)
- Exact location of skip e.g. outside No 3 Bulky Road, or around the corner from No 3 Bulky Road in Lean Street.
- Start date (the date on which the skip will be placed on the Highway)
The maximum licence period for a skip is 7 days; after this time you'll need to apply for a new permit.
The charge for a permit is £36 per week and we advise that you apply 5 days prior to your required start date, if possible.
Payment is required as part of the application process so you will need your card details to hand when making applications. Permits can be applied for up to 4 weeks in duration.
