For safety reasons it’s always safer to place skips on the road instead of the pavement.
It’s probable that you won’t need a permit if your skip is placed completely on private land.
If your skip isn’t filled and its contents aren’t stable, cover with dampened or netting to prevent inside waste materials from blowing out.
Your local council will be able to provide you with information on the placing of skips and permits.
If you do need to place a skip on the road or highway make sure the skip is placed in a position where it won’t become a danger to road users.
