By choosing Castle Skips for skip hire in Edinburgh, you’re choosing a company that prioritises sustainable waste disposal practices.
If your skip needs to be placed on a public road or pavement in Edinburgh, a skip permit from the local council is usually required. At Castle Skips, we make the process simple by helping arrange the necessary skip permits for Edinburgh, ensuring your skip placement complies with local regulations.
A permit is typically required when there is no space on private property, such as a driveway or garden, and the skip must be positioned on a public highway. Our team can handle the permit application on your behalf, saving you time and ensuring everything is approved before your skip is delivered.
We work closely with the local council to ensure that all required safety measures and regulations are followed. This may include positioning the skip safely, using appropriate markings or lights if required, and ensuring it does not obstruct traffic or pedestrian access.
By arranging your Edinburgh skip permit through Castle Skips, you can avoid delays and ensure your skip hire runs smoothly from delivery to collection. If you’re unsure whether you need a permit, our team will be happy to advise and guide you through the process when booking your skip hire.

You will usually need a skip permit if the skip is placed on a public road or pavement in Edinburgh. If you have space on private property, such as a driveway or garden, a permit is normally not required. At Castle Skips, we can arrange the necessary permit with the local council on your behalf to make the process simple and ensure everything complies with local regulations.
Most general household, garden, and construction waste can be placed in a skip. However, there are certain items that cannot be disposed of in skips, including:
Asbestos
Electrical appliances (fridges, freezers, TVs)
Tyres
Gas bottles or cylinders
Paints, solvents, and chemicals
Batteries
Plasterboard (in mixed waste skips)
If you’re unsure about a specific item, our team can advise you before your skip is delivered.
The cost of skip hire in Edinburgh depends on several factors, including the size of the skip, the hire duration, and whether a permit is required. Smaller skips for domestic use are usually cheaper, while larger skips for construction projects cost more. For an accurate price, it’s best to contact Castle Skips for a quick quote based on your location and waste type.
Castle Skips provides skip hire across Edinburgh and surrounding areas, delivering skips to homes, businesses, and construction sites. Our service covers areas such as Leith, Portobello, Corstorphine, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Livingston, and many other nearby locations. If you're unsure whether we deliver to your area, simply contact us and we’ll be happy to confirm.
Our skip delivery vehicles require sufficient space and clear access to safely place the skip. Ideally, there should be enough room for the lorry to manoeuvre and lower the skip without obstructions such as low branches, parked vehicles, or overhead cables. If access is limited, our team can help recommend the best placement option when booking your skip.
Skip hire periods typically range from 7 to 14 days, depending on your project. If you need the skip for a longer period, this can usually be arranged when booking or extended if needed. We aim to provide flexible hire periods to suit your schedule.
Choosing the right skip depends on the amount and type of waste you need to dispose of. Smaller skips are ideal for household clearances or garden waste, while larger skips are better suited for building projects and bulky materials. If you’re unsure which size is right for your project, the Castle Skips team can recommend the most suitable skip based on your needs.
