Question 1

Do I need a permit to place a skip on the street in Newcastle?

Accepted Answer

In Newcastle, if your skip will sit on public land or verge, you'll typically need a permit from Newry Mourne and Down Council. The council charges a fee for this permit, usually around £25-£40 depending on duration. Most skip hire companies in Newcastle can handle permit applications on your behalf, so ask when you book. Private driveways don't require a permit.
