Do You Need a Skip Permit in Portland?
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 Portland, a permit from Dorset Council is required. The Waste Group can arrange this on your behalf — just let us know when booking. Permits typically take 3–5 working days to process so plan ahead where possible.
