Skip hire in Lynsted

First published 7 October 2026. Last checked 7 October 2026.

Lynsted is in the Kent County Council highway area (not Medway). 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

Local notes

Lynsted lies just south of the A2 between Faversham and Sittingbourne. Prefer a private drive. Kent's terms bar skips from any waiting restriction, so a road skip needs a stretch with no yellow lines, and it must not block access to other premises without the occupier's consent.

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 area (not Medway) and ask them to apply. Recheck the council fees page on the day you book.
  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.
