Starting A Skip Hire Company!

Gamage · Jul 12, 2008

Hi all..

Im wanting to add another business to my GROUP of companies..

The new company in question is a skip hire company

Im looking at registering the new company hopefully 1st august, I already have a premises as I own a building company and private hire company using the same yard..

Basically I want to know..

1) what licenses will i need?
2) Where do skip companies take their rubbish and how much does it cost to dispose of it?

I already have a wagon and my mate is a lorry driver and has just been made redundant so will be working part time..

Ive set aside 20k for the new company

Any information will be more than appreciated.

I'd contact your local authority for the info that you need as they will control all the charge rates and regulations...

Licences can only be granted to a skip company that is registered with the Council. To be accepted for registration, the company is required to supply copies of a Public Liability Insurance certificate for a minimum of £5million; a Waste Carrier's Licence certificate issued by theEnvironment Agency and a Goods Vehicle Operator's Licence issued by the Vehicle and operator service agency (VOSA). By applying for registration, the skip company is agreeing to comply with Conditions of Permission which are part of the Highways Act Section 139.

To Apply for your skip Licence you can go on to your Couunty council website and apply online.

The rubbish can be taken to your local dump site and they will weight it in and you will pay them.

good luck
