Permits in Dudley
Dudley Council licenses skips on the highway, and applications can take up to 5 days to process, so book ahead. Operators need £5 million public liability insurance. The fee is set in the council's annual list of fees and charges rather than on its skip page, so ask your supplier for the total price.
Collection timing
A skip must be removed within 2 days of being filled or when its licence runs out, whichever comes first. Let the supplier know as soon as it's full so the collection is booked in time.
Across the borough
Stourbridge, Halesowen and Brierley Hill are all covered by Dudley Council. A skip on your own drive or land needs no licence. The size guide explains which sizes can take heavy waste.
