What The Permit Covers
That is the charge the council agreed to apply from 1 April 2026, up from £66.40, for permission to place a skip on the highway for a two-week period. A further rise to £73.00 was proposed to apply from summer 2026. The council's own skip permit guidance still shows £65.10 for a four-week permit, so confirm the figure and the period when you apply.
How Long Does It Take To Get A Skip Permit?
How much notice Central Bedfordshire 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.
