Priced by street and length of stay
Walsall Council prices skip permits by how long the skip stays and whether the street is traffic-sensitive. From April 2026 it charges per day: £12.40 a day on an ordinary street for a skip staying up to a week, rising with the length of stay to £61.20 a day for anything over a month. A long stay adds up quickly, so keep hire periods short.
Is your street traffic-sensitive?
The council publishes a map of traffic-sensitive streets, where rates are higher, and your supplier will know whether yours is one. The skip company applies, at least 3 working days in advance.
Invoiced twice a year
Walsall invoices skip companies for their permits twice a year, so the cost is normally folded into your hire price rather than charged to you separately. On a drive or private land, no permit is needed. See skip hire across the West Midlands and what can go in a skip.
