A driveway is usually the first place you would consider placing a skip, but at times this is not always possible. Some people may not have a suitable driveway, so you may want to look at alternative locations.
A skip can be placed on a road, pavement or even on grass. If you are considering placing a skip on a road or pavement you would need to obtain a permit from your local council which is something we can assist with. A permit is required to ensure the skip does not pose a risk to pedestrians or vehicles. If you do not get a permit, you could end up with a hefty fine. However, placing it here does require easy access and enough space to be able to place the skip safely.
You can place a skip on grass if it belongs to you, like in your front garden. One thing you will need to consider is that a skip can cause damage to the part of grass its placed on. So, if you are a proud gardener then it may not be the best option for you if you want it looking its best.
Now, can your neighbour place a skip outside your house? the answer to this burning question is simple really. You cannot put your skip outside someone’s house unless you have permission from them to place it on their property. If the road outside is a public road and you have obtained a permit, then you can place it there. However, it is always a good idea to inform your neighbour out of courtesy to avoid any disagreements.
