Skip licences come from Surrey County Council

In Surrey the highway authority is the county council, so a licence for a skip on the road, pavement or verge comes from Surrey County Council rather than Waverley Borough Council. Only skip companies on the county council's skip register can apply, so if the skip is going on the road, check your supplier is registered. A skip on your own drive or private land needs no licence.

From 1 April 2027 the county and borough councils are replaced by two unitary councils, and Farnham moves to West Surrey Council, which takes over skip licensing. If your job runs across that date, ask the supplier how they are handling it. See the skip permit guide for the general rules.

Placing a skip in Farnham

Farnham's historic town centre is a conservation area with narrow side streets and limited parking, so skips close to the centre often need a road licence and careful placement. Farnham also borders Hampshire. Addresses across the border, such as Aldershot and Bordon, need a licence from Hampshire County Council instead, which keeps its own register of approved skip operators. Searching by your full postcode shows the right council.

Choosing a size

For heavy waste like soil or rubble, most suppliers limit you to a smaller skip, often 6 yards or less, because weight rather than volume is the limit. The size guide works it out from what you are clearing.
