Skip hire in Stonehouse

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

Stonehouse sits in the Gloucestershire County Council highway area. A skip on the public road needs that council’s licence – the skip company usually 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.

Gloucestershire County Council is the highway authority for this town. Full permit detail: Skip permit: Gloucestershire County Council. On that page (checked 12 Sep 2026): £90 for 28 days (from 1 Apr 2025). at least 12 calendar days. County map: Skip hire in Gloucestershire.

Private drive vs road

Local notes

Stonehouse High Street parking and older terraces often favour a private-drive drop if you have one. Gloucestershire County Council is the highway authority for Stonehouse (not Stroud as highway authority). Fee note: £90 for 28 days (from 1 Apr 2025), rechecked 12 Sep 2026.

The fee note above is from Gloucestershire County Council’s published page (or an honest note when none was printed), not a hire quote.

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 Gloucestershire County Council highway area and ask them to apply. Give them the notice on the permit page.
  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.
