Skip hire in Yeovil

First published 2 September 2026. Last checked 2 September 2026.

Yeovil sits in the Somerset Council highway area – not North Somerset or BANES. A skip on the public road needs a Somerset Council 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.

Skip Clerk does not invent provider rankings, phone numbers or “top skips in Yeovil”. Check the carrier’s CBDU number, then ask who will apply for the road licence.

Private drive vs road

DIY construction waste at Somerset recycling sites

If you are taking a small DIY load yourself, Somerset Council allows up to eight 50-litre sacks of construction waste a month free (max four booked visits). Plasterboard is included on that list; extra sheets are £6.60 each. Waste must be from your own home, and you pre-book. Check which sites accept plasterboard on the day.

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 Somerset Council area and ask them to apply. Give them more than ten 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.

Skip Clerk has no hire partners yet and no prices for skip hire on this page. The £109 figure is Somerset Council’s published permit fee, not a hire quote. When we add a booking link it will be marked as an affiliate link.
