Skips must be level loaded – i.e. they must not be filled above the top edge of the skip. This is to ensure safe transportation. It is illegal to overfill a skip.

All skips must be placed entirely on private property at all times. Under no circumstances may a skip be positioned on any area that can be classed as part of the public highway, including but not limited to grass verges, pavements, parking bays, or the road itself. The Hirer is solely responsible for ensuring proper placement of the skip, and any fines, penalties, charges, or legal actions arising from a breach of the Highways Act 1980 or any other applicable legislation resulting from incorrect placement of the skip shall be the full responsibility of the Hirer, who agrees to indemnify the Company against any liabilities.

Each skip delivered to the Hirer should (where the skip is to be sited on a public highway) have a permit from the local council. Oxford Skip Hire Ltd will apply for these on request. (The permit must be paid for by the Hirer). The Hirer would be required to contact the council directly and request a parking suspension. They require 10 days’ notice. They will be provided with a reference number. Once they have this reference, we can then apply for a skip permit on the Hirers behalf.
