Skip hire in Broughty Ferry

First published 11 September 2026. Last checked 11 September 2026.

Broughty Ferry sits under Dundee City Council. Dundee City Council is the roads authority. A skip on the public road needs a Section 85 builders’ skip permit – £70/day or £205/month (checked 11 September 2026). A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. Broughty Ferry is a Dundee coastal suburb – same roads authority as the city centre. This page is placement and waste rules, not a list of firms.

Skip Clerk does not invent provider rankings, phone numbers or “top skips in Broughty Ferry”. Check the carrier on SEPA, then ask who will apply for the road permit.

How to hire without a fake directory

  1. Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
  2. If it has to sit on the road, name the roads authority and ask the firm to apply. Scotland is not Highways Act 1980.
  3. Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it on SEPA – how to check a waste carrier licence.
  4. Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
