What Nottinghamshire County Council charges
| Skip permit | Nottinghamshire County Council |
|---|---|
| Council's fee | £52 per 7 days |
| Licence length | 7 days |
| Notice | None held |
| Read from | Council's page, 8 Aug 2026 |
The fee is the council's own and carries no VAT. It is what the council's page said on 8 Aug 2026; a council can change its fee, so its own page is the last word.
What the permit adds to a booking with us
| Days on the road | Licences | Adds to your total (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|
| 7 days | 1 | £62.40 |
| 14 days | 2 | £124.80 |
| 28 days | 4 | £249.60 |
The figures follow the days the skip stands on the road, and a longer stay can take more than one licence. They are for a booking made with enough notice. Nothing is added for arranging it: each is the council's fee as read, for those days, plus VAT. While you book, the permit line is shown before VAT, so it reads lower than the figure here.
Two things are not in these figures and are priced when you book: a charge for booking at short notice, and a parking bay suspension where the skip takes a marked bay. In some councils with controlled parking zones, the on-road price you see first assumes a bay is needed until you say it is not.
For 14 days on the road, Waste Central's permit price before VAT is between about £55 and £110 in half of the 171 councils it prices from their published fee. At £104, Nottinghamshire is within that range.
Where Nottinghamshire County Council issues the permit
Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority for these districts, so it — not the district, borough or city council — issues the skip permit in Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood and Rushcliffe.
When you need one
Only when the skip stands on a public road, pavement or verge — the permit is a licence under the Highways Act 1980 — and on your own drive or land none is needed. Choose the public-road option when you book and the permit is arranged for you, as its own line in the price before you pay. Waste Central holds no notice period for Nottinghamshire County Council, so none is given here.
