Do you need a skip permit in Abingdon?

If your skip will sit on a public road, verge or pavement, you will need a permit. In Abingdon these are issued via Oxfordshire County Council, which manages the highways, working alongside the Vale of White Horse District Council. Permits typically last for a set number of days and carry a council fee on top of the hire cost. The good news is that placing the skip on your own driveway or private land avoids a permit entirely, which is why many Abingdon residents prefer it where space allows. When a permit is needed, we apply on the customer's behalf, so you do not have to navigate council paperwork yourself.

What you can and can't put in your skip

These include fridges and freezers, TVs and monitors, tyres, asbestos, plasterboard (which usually needs separating), paint tins, batteries and any hazardous chemicals.
