Do you need a skip permit in York?
If your skip sits on a public road, you'll need a permit issued by City of York Council. If it goes on your own driveway or private land, no permit is required. When a permit is needed, we apply on your behalf as part of arranging your skip, so there's no extra paperwork for you.
Local tip: Within York's historic city centre and conservation areas near the city walls, on-street skip placement is tightly controlled and may need extra approval — using your driveway, where possible, is faster and avoids permit fees altogether.

What you can and can't put in your skip
General household, garden, timber, metal, plastic and most construction waste can all go in York skips. However, some items are banned for safety and environmental reasons. Do not place fridges, freezers, TVs, mattresses (in some cases), tyres, batteries, paint, asbestos, plasterboard or any hazardous chemicals in a standard skip. Plasterboard usually needs to be kept separate, and your supplier can advise on this when you book. Keeping banned items out keeps your collection smooth and avoids extra charges.
