Permits & Licensing in Hertfordshire

In Hertfordshire, any skip placed on a public highway (road, verge, pavement) generally requires a skip licence (permit) from the relevant local authority.

• The permit ensures regulation of skip placement for safety, traffic flow, and public rights of way.
• Fees vary by council, and the application must often be submitted several days in advance.
• When skips are placed entirely within private property (e.g. on your driveway), a permit is often not required.

JOD Group helps you navigate this process and, where needed, submits permit applications on your behalf, ensuring compliance and avoiding fines.

What You Can — & Cannot — Put in a Skip

To comply with waste regulations:

Allowed (typical):

• Household waste
• Garden waste
• Rubble, brick, soil (if uncontaminated)
• Wood, metal, general construction debris

Restricted / Prohibited items:

• Asbestos or hazardous materials
• Batteries, gas cylinders, solvents, chemicals
• Electrical items (e.g. TVs, freezers) unless arranged via specialist disposal
• Fluorescent tubes, oil, plasterboard mixed with general waste

If you’re unsure whether an item is acceptable, just ask our team — we’ll advise or arrange appropriate disposal.

Benefits of Hiring a Skip vs DIY Trip

• Time & effort saved — avoid multiple trips to the tip, loading fuel, and vehicle wear.
• Safer site — waste is contained, preventing hazards from spread around your site.
• Professional handling — we ensure legal, licensed disposal and recycling wherever possible.
• Fly-tipping protection — hiring a skip reduces the risk of unlawful dumping.
