Before you call

  2. Drive or road? A skip on a public road needs a council permit: who gets it, and is it in the price?
  3. What is your waste carrier registration number?

Environment Agency public register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers, read 31 Oct 2026. It covers England only. We match by company name and postcode, and a plate shows a registration number only when we have found the entry: no number means not matched yet, not that the company is unregistered.
