Know Your Waste Responsibilities

Under Irish law (Waste Management Act), businesses must:

• Segregate recyclables

• Dispose of hazardous waste separately

• Maintain waste transfer documentation

Hiring from a licensed provider like Hire A Skip Online ensures full legal compliance.

Do You Need a Permit?

If the skip is placed on public land (e.g. road or street), you’ll likely need a council permit.

Commercial permits may have:

• Higher fees
