Skip hire in Ystrad Mynach

First published 11 September 2026. Last checked 11 September 2026.

Ystrad Mynach sits in Caerphilly County Borough. A skip on the public highway needs Caerphilly’s skip permit – the operator applies. A skip wholly on a private drive you control does not. This page is placement and waste rules, not a list of firms.

Which authority

Caerphilly County Borough Council is the highway authority. Full permit detail: Skip permit: Caerphilly Council. On that page (checked 11 September 2026): £28.39, at least two working days, operator applies. Nation map: Skip hire in Wales.

Private drive vs road

• Wholly on a driveway or other private land you control: no highway skip licence.
• Any part on the public road or adopted highway: yes. The skip company applies.
• National rule: Do I need a skip permit?.

Local placement note

College-town streets and A469 approaches can be busy at term time. Prefer a private hardstanding if you have one; if the skip must sit on the road, give the firm Caerphilly’s two working days and budget the published £28.39 fee.

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 which principal council applies and ask them to apply. Use the notice period 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.
