Book this skip → Local delivery & permits in Reading
Reading Borough Council acts as both the local authority and the permit authority, so when a skip needs to go on a public road, the permit application goes directly to Reading Borough Council rather than a separate county body. Conservation areas around Reading Abbey ruins and Forbury Gardens carry stricter conditions on where skips may be sited, so it is worth checking access before booking.
Because Reading is just 28 miles from our depot in Faringdon, we can usually offer within 1–2 working days delivery. We cover the whole town and the surrounding area.
A Berkshire-based broker rarely knows Reading's streets well enough to spot a conservation area restriction or a narrow access lane in Caversham. We visit these roads regularly and can advise on the right skip size and placement before you commit.
Local recycling: Waste from Reading skips is handled responsibly through licensed transfer stations; residents wishing to drop off materials themselves can use Reading Borough Council's household waste recycling centre on Island Road.

Skip hire Reading, FAQs
Do I need a permit for a skip in Reading?
If the skip will sit entirely on your driveway or private land, no permit is needed. If any part of it sits on a public road or pavement, Reading Borough Council requires a permit. We handle the application for you when you book.
How long does delivery take from Faringdon to Reading?
Reading is about 28 miles from our yard, so we normally deliver the next working day when you book before midday. We can discuss same-day options for urgent jobs depending on our run for that day.
