Permits
Skip permit: Monmouthshire Council
If the skip sits on a Monmouthshire public highway, the council’s skip licence applies. Monmouthshire’s skip licence/permit page (checked 11 September 2026) lists £108 for four weeks from 1 April 2026, plus £27 for each extra week. A skip wholly on private land you control does not need this licence.
From 1 April 2026 the four-week charge is £108. Ask the hire firm to apply and to confirm any extra-week charge before the skip overruns.
When you need one
- Public highway in Monmouthshire: yes.
- Wholly on private land: no.
- Stays beyond four weeks attract the published £27 per extra week.
The statutory hook is still Highways Act 1980, section 139. National rule: Do I need a skip permit?.

A sensible order
- Can it sit wholly on the drive? If yes, book that and skip the licence.
- If it has to go on the road, tell the hire firm at booking. They apply. Ask them to use Monmouthshire’s skip licence process and confirm the from-April-2026 fee.
- Check their waste-carrier number – how to check a waste carrier licence.
- Size the job on the size guide.
