FAQs for Skip Hire

We have your Portsmouth Skip Hire Questions covered. Not mentioned here? Just give us a call and our helpful local team will be happy to answer your questions.

If you’re placing your skip on a private driveway or garden in areas like Drayton or Cosham, you don’t need a permit. However, if the skip needs to go on a public road or a council-owned verge—common in the terraced streets of Fratton and Southsea—a permit from Portsmouth City Council is mandatory. At Pompey Skip Hire, we handle the entire application for you, including the fee and providing the required safety lights.

As of 2026, Portsmouth City Council charges a standard fee for a skip permit, which usually lasts for 7 or 14 days. Because we are a registered skip operator with the council, we include this fee in your total quote so there are no hidden surprises. Keep in mind that the council requires roughly 3 to 5 working days to process these, so it’s best to book your skip at least a week in advance. 

In high-density areas like Central Southsea or Landport, parking can be a nightmare. If a permit isn't an option, we recommend our "Wait and Load" service. We’ll drop the skip, wait for up to 30 minutes while you and your team fill it, and then take it away immediately. This avoids the cost of a council permit and ensures your waste is gone in under an hour.

To stay compliant with environmental laws and keep the Solent clean, we cannot accept hazardous waste. This includes asbestos, fridges and freezers, vehicle tyres, car batteries, gas cylinders, and old tins of paint. If you have "POPs" waste (like upholstered sofas or armchairs), please let us know when booking, as these require special disposal under current UK regulations. 

For the safety of our drivers and other road users in Portsmouth, all skips must be a "Level Load." This means your waste should not exceed the top edge of the skip. If a skip is overloaded, it becomes dangerous to transport, and our drivers may refuse to collect it until the excess is removed. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to go one size up! 

We are proud to be an eco-conscious local business. Once your skip is collected, it’s taken to a licensed waste transfer station in the PO postcode area. Here, the contents are meticulously sorted. We currently divert over 90% of all waste away from landfill, ensuring that wood, metal, plastics, and hardcore are recycled back into the local economy.
