Do You Need a Skip Permit in Swanage?

If the skip is placed on your private driveway or land, no permit is required. If the skip needs to go on a public road in Swanage, a permit from Dorset Council is required. The Waste Group can arrange this on your behalf — just let us know when booking. Note that Swanage’s narrow seafront streets and conservation areas can affect placement, so it’s worth booking a few days ahead. Permits typically take 3–5 working days to process.
