As the most environmetnally conscious skip hire company and skip hire york provider we were very surprised, to say the least, when we received a letter through from North Yorkshire County County and City of York council about the new skip permit costs to put skips onto the road / verge.

Charges were originally introduced a number of years ago and there is an agreed protocol for the number of lights and cones that need to be left with the skips. However the charges intorduced on 1st April 2011 without any consultation effectively increase the charge four fold. From circa £25 to £100.

Whilst we appreciate that councils are looking for every penny of revenue possible, the risk has always stated with the owner of the skip, skip hire york and skip hire harrogate has now become more expensive if you want to put skips onto the road.

Our perfect solution to prevent the need for a permit is to do our wait and load service, we simple turn up at an agreed time, and assist the loading of the skip and get eeverything done within 15 minutes. Perfect solution, which ironically leaves the council with less revenue rather than more revenue.
