Skip hire
This section provides information on skip hire in Reigate and Banstead.
The Council has ceased its Skip Hire service.
There are many private skip hire companies working in the Borough. Residents need to make sure that they employ a reputable and licenced company.
Since The Waste (Household Waste Duty of Care) Regulations 2005 were introduced on 21 November 2005, residents and householders are required to take reasonable measures to ensure that household waste produced on their property is collected by an authorised person or company.
We recommend that residents check the following details before employing a contractor:
You should make sure that the chosen skip hire company is a registered waste carrier. Each licensed waste carrier is given a waste carrier registration number by the Environment Agency. This number can be checked with the Environment Agency on 08708 506 506 where you can ask for a Waste carrier validation check or via Waste Directoy (Environment Agency website opens in new window).
You as the householder are liable for prosecution should your waste turn up flytipped or disposed of illegally.If you need to place a skip on the highway (including the verge), the skip company will have to get permission, in the form of a skip licence, from Surrey County Council (the Highway Authority).
For a list of approved skip hire contractors Registered Skip Companies (Surrey County Council website opens in new window) or call them on 08456 009 009.
