Do You Need a Skip Permit in Shaftesbury?
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 Shaftesbury, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skip Hire in Shaftesbury
How much does skip hire cost in Shaftesbury?
Skip hire prices in Shaftesbury are quoted per job rather than from a fixed price list — the cost depends on your postcode and skip size (4 to 12 yards available). Call us on 01305 819819 and we’ll give you an exact price and delivery date in one quick call.
What size skip do I need for a house clearance in Shaftesbury?
For a typical house clearance we recommend a 6 or 8 yard skip. A 6 yard skip suits smaller properties and partial clearances, while an 8 yard skip is better for full house clearances or properties with larger amounts of furniture and bulky waste.
Do I need a permit for a skip on a Shaftesbury road?
Yes — if your skip is placed on a public highway in Shaftesbury, a permit from Dorset Council is required. If the skip is on a private driveway or land, no permit is needed. The Waste Group can arrange road permits on your behalf when booking.
What postcodes do you cover around Shaftesbury?
We cover all SP7 postcodes including Shaftesbury, Melbury Abbas, Cann, Motcombe, Ludwell, Fontmell Magna and Compton Abbas. Call 01305 819819 if you’re unsure whether we cover your postcode.
How long can I keep a skip in Shaftesbury?
All skip hire includes a 14-day hire period as standard. If you need the skip for longer, extended hire can usually be arranged — we confirm the cost when you call. Just call us on 01305 819819 before your hire period expires to arrange an extension.
Can I put soil and rubble in a skip in Shaftesbury?
Yes — soil and rubble can go in an inert skip. Inert skips are priced separately from general waste skips and quoted per job in the Shaftesbury area. Call 01305 819819 for inert waste pricing and availability.
