Hire duration

Location and access
Difficult access, narrow streets, or remote locations in Openshaw may affect delivery costs.

Do You Need A Permit For A Skip In Openshaw?
You'll need a permit if your skip is placed on public land (road, pavement, verge). Skips on private property like your driveway don't require a permit.
How much does a skip permit cost in Openshaw?
What The Permit Covers
This is for one skip permit, valid for a maximum of 7 days. It's separate from the £175.00 annual skip registration that any skip company must hold before it can apply for permits at all, which is valid for 12 months and is required under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. That registration is a one-off yearly cost for the operator, not a per-job charge. A skip proposed for a restricted area or location needs prior approval, with 10 working days' notice, before the permit itself can be applied for. A skip on a driveway, private land or garden doesn't need a permit at all.
How Long Does It Take To Get A Skip Permit?
How much notice Manchester City Council needs is set by them, and we publish a figure only where we have read one on their own page. 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.
Check with Manchester City Council for the latest permit prices and specific requirements for your location.
