LOCAL DELIVERY CHECK

Make sure the skip and lorry can reach the space

The historic centre has narrow approaches and restricted loading, while villages outside town may involve lanes, soft verges and long reversing distances.

Call to discuss the delivery address and vehicle approach. Check gate width, the surface, overhead cables, trees, parked cars and the room needed to lift the loaded skip on collection day.

ROAD OR PRIVATE LAND?

Shrewsbury skip permits

Shropshire controls highway placement outside the Telford & Wrekin area. The operator should identify the right road authority and obtain permission before delivery.

GOV.UK says a skip on a public road needs a licence, while private-land placement normally does not. Fees and conditions change, so confirm the current position before booking.
