Skip hire companies are not held responsible for this.
Permit processing typically takes 3-5 working days, though some delays can occur. Homeowners may find that permit fees vary between councils.
Homeowners positioning the skips on residential property do not require permits. It’s important to note that hiring a skip without a permit for public placement can result in fines, so ensuring compliance is essential.
