Skip hire in Greenhill

First published 12 September 2026. Last checked 12 September 2026.

This is Greenhill beside Herne Bay (not Greenhill elsewhere). Kent County Council issues the highway skip licence. A skip on the public road needs that licence – the skip company applies, not you. A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. 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 Greenhill”. Check the carrier’s CBDU number, then ask who will apply for the road licence.

Private drive vs road

Local placement note

Greenhill Road and the lanes toward Herne Bay seafront share space with summer traffic; confirm you mean Greenhill near Herne Bay when you book. Prefer a private-drive drop if you have one. For the highway, the skip company applies to Kent County Council with at least five working days. Fee: £45 per week (2026–27), rechecked 12 September 2026.

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, tell the firm you are in the Kent County Council highway area and ask them to apply. Give them at least five working days.
  3. Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – 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.
