Skip hire in Horton-cum-Studley
Horton-cum-Studley is in the Oxfordshire County Council highway area. A skip on the public road needs that council’s licence – the hire firm 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.

Private drive vs road

- Any part on the public road or highway: yes. The hire firm applies.
- Pavement: you cannot put a skip there. National rule: Do I need a skip permit?.
Local notes
Horton-cum-Studley sits in Cherwell under Oxfordshire County Council as highway authority. Prefer a private drive if you control one; village streets need clear width before a road licence.
Oxfordshire County Council’s DIY waste page gives each household a free allowance once every seven days: up to two 50-litre rubble bags (or five 20-litre bags), or one bulky item no larger than 2000 mm x 750 mm x 700 mm. Over that allowance, hardcore and rubble is listed at £2.50 per 20-litre bag; plasterboard at £4.30 per 20-litre bag or £11.80 per door-sized sheet (2 m x 1 m). Plasterboard is accepted only at Redbridge and Ardley Fields. Own-home DIY only; book a visit. Source: Oxfordshire DIY waste charges.
How to hire without a fake directory
- Decide the size from the job – What size skip do I need?.
- If it has to sit on the road, tell the firm you are in the Oxfordshire County Council area and ask them to apply. Give them more than five working days.
- Ask for the waste-carrier number and check it – how to check a waste carrier licence.
- Keep plasterboard, electricals and sofas out of a mixed skip unless the operator says otherwise – what you cannot put in a skip.
