FAQ
Reviews
Do you need a permit for an 8-yard skip in Newcastle?
An 8-yard is long enough to matter on a narrow street, so check the placement rules below before you book.
On private property? No permit needed. Newcastle City Council says a permit is for skips on the public highway. A skip on private property is placed at your own risk, so pick a spot that can take the weight.
On a public road? You need a permit. The legal basis is Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. Tell us when you book so the permit can be sorted before delivery.

Newcastle permit rules

  • A permit lasts 28 days at most, and renewal is not automatic.
  • The council charges a fee, and permit fees are non-refundable.

Where a Newcastle skip sits

  • Not on the footway or verge
  • Leaving at least 3.1 metres of carriageway clear
  • A skip in a bay, such as pay and display, loading, disabled or taxi, needs a separate parking suspension

Before you book

  • Tell us whether the spot is a parking bay when you book, along with the exact spot and any access issues.
  • Keep the load level with the top rim and boards off.

A kitchen or a clear-out in Newcastle: the 8 yard skip

It is 3.66 m long, 1.68 m wide and 1.22 m high, which is about 70 to 90 bin bags and up to 8 tonnes.

Ideal uses for an 8 yard skip in Newcastle

  • Replacing a kitchen: Units, worktops, tiles and flooring. Cookers and fridges cannot go in. See our kitchen renovation guide.
  • Emptying a garage: Wooden furniture, boxes and tools. Mattresses are prohibited.
  • Doing a small extension: Timber, offcuts and packaging. See our house extension guide.
  • Landscaping the garden: Fencing, decking and branches. See our garden clearance guide.

Choosing the right size

If the job has two or three parts, this is the one we would pick. If it is a full house or structural work, go to the 12 yard.

Weight

Up to 8 tonnes. Load level with the top rim.

Placement and permits

Allow about 3.7 m of length. Newcastle City Council issues the permit for the road or pavement, and you apply. A skip on a driveway, grass or pavement is at your own risk, and a waiver may be required.
