Prices may rise during peak periods such as summer months or during major development projects in the Horwich area.

That is the rate for a skip company registered with the council; an unregistered company pays £18.50. Higher bands apply on busier roads: £16.50 registered or £22.00 unregistered on main roads or roads with a traffic regulation order, rising to £37.50 registered or £43.00 unregistered in town centres. Each licence runs for a week but can be renewed up to four weeks in total, and an unlicensed skip costs £58 for the first week plus £15.90 for each further week. These prices are valid until 31 March 2027.
How Long Does It Take To Get A Skip Permit?

Where they do state a notice period it is shown above, under what the permit covers. Apply as early as you can, and ask your skip hire company first, as most of them handle the application for you.
