If your skip needs to be placed on a public road or pavement, a permit may be required by Leicester City Council. Foxes Skips can handle all permit arrangements for you, ensuring compliance with local rules and making the process simple and stress-free.
We deliver skips across Leicester, covering all major districts, including Belgrave, Highfields, Stoneygate, Braunstone, and the City Centre.

Many people have questions before hiring a skip in Leicester, Foxes Skips have the answers.
If your skip is placed on your own driveway or private land, no permit is required. However, if it needs to go on a public road or pavement—common in areas like Clarendon Park or Highfields—a council permit is legally required. At Foxes Skips, we handle the application process with Leicester City Council (or Leicestershire County Council for outer areas) so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.
For skips going on the road, the council typically requires 3 to 5 working days to process a permit. If you're in a busy area like Leicester City Centre or Aylestone, we recommend booking a week in advance. If you’re in a hurry and have a private driveway, we can often provide next-day delivery.
In areas with heavy parking restrictions, such as Stoneygate or near the universities, the council may require a "Parking Suspension" in addition to a skip permit. This ensures a space is legally reserved for your skip. If this sounds too complicated or expensive, ask us about our Wait & Load service, which doesn't require a permit or parking suspension.
For most domestic jobs in Leicester, our 4-yard (Midi) or 6-yard (Builders) skips are the most popular. The 6-yard skip is the largest size allowed on a public highway by the council. If you are doing a larger commercial clearance in Beaumont Leys or Wigston, we provide 8-yard and 12-yard skips, but these must usually be kept on private property.
Yes. To comply with environmental regulations, we cannot accept hazardous materials such as asbestos, fridges/freezers, car batteries, tyres, paint cans, or clinical waste. If you’re unsure about an item—especially during a specialized office or garage clear-out—just give the Foxes team a call and we’ll advise you on the best disposal route.
At Foxes Skips, we are committed to keeping Leicester green. We aim to recycle at least 90% of the waste we collect at our local licensed sorting facilities. We track every load to ensure compliance with the latest UK waste legislation, giving you peace of mind that your rubbish isn't just heading straight to a landfill.
