Motherwell placement guide
Driveway or road?
Here’s where to start.
For a skip on a public road, check North Lanarkshire Council’s Section 85 permission requirements before arranging delivery. The exact position and other planned works can affect the proposed date.
Check the council guidanceCouncil information checked 9 September 2026.
Have the position ready
The application asks for the location, dates, applicant and skip-company details, plus a location plan. Agree who is applying before booking.
Private land is different
A skip entirely on private land does not normally need a road skip permit. Confirm permission, surface suitability and lorry access.
Load it right
Know what goes in.
Before you begin.
Tell us what you’re clearing. The waste type matters just as much as the skip size, and acceptance must be agreed before booking.
Everyday project waste
Usually suitable when agreed:
- Non-hazardous household clutter
- Wood and timber
- Garden cuttings
- Light renovation waste
Let’s check first
May need a separate waste route:
- Soil, rubble and concrete
- Plasterboard
- Mattresses and carpets
- Upholstered seating and electricals
Keep these out
Excluded from standard skip hire:
- Asbestos or suspected asbestos
- Paint, liquids and chemicals
- Gas bottles and batteries
- Fuel, oil and clinical waste
Keep loads level with the rim. Heavy waste has weight limits; upholstered seating and electricals must not go into a standard mixed load without an agreed authorised route.
