East Sussex runs along the coast from Brighton through Newhaven, Seaford and Eastbourne to Hastings, with the High Weald and the Ashdown Forest villages inland. Three postcode areas cover its 132 towns and villages: BN along the coast, TN across the east and RH on the northern border. Roughly 749,000 people live in the county and more than a third of them in Brighton alone. Two permit regimes apply, one for Brighton and Hove and one for the rest of the county, and a call goes straight through to the depot covering that address. A driveway skip needs no permit under either.

Skip permits by council in East Sussex
Two authorities issue skip permits in East Sussex. East Sussex County Council covers most of the county, and Brighton and Hove City Council covers the city on a different fee and duration. Both are listed below, and a skip kept on a private driveway needs neither.
| Council | Permit fee | Duration | Notice | Source |

| Brighton and Hove City Council | £89.10 | 28 days | 3 working days | Fee source |
Skip hire across East Sussex
Coverage runs across all 132 towns and villages. Brighton holds more than a third of the county’s population and most of its terraced and converted-flat housing, where kerbside placement and permit timing decide the job more often than the size of the skip does. Eastbourne, Hastings, Bexhill-on-Sea and Seaford spread east along the coast, mixing Victorian terraces with post-war estates that have off-street parking. Inland, Hailsham, Uckfield and the High Weald villages have more driveway space, so permits come up less often there. Lewes and the Downs villages sit between the two, with narrow historic streets that favour the smaller sizes.

Where East Sussex's skip waste goes
Skip waste from East Sussex is tipped at a licensed transfer station and separated by material, with wood, metal, hardcore and clean plastics going to specialist recyclers and only unrecoverable residue reaching landfill. Waste carriers operating in England are registered with the Environment Agency, and every load comes with a waste transfer note, the paperwork behind the duty of care set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Fridges, tyres, paint and asbestos stay out of the skip and are booked separately.
