2. Each skip shall be guarded by at least 3 traffic cones placed on the carriageway in an oblique line on the approach side of the skip. (Where 2 or more skips are deposited in a row, so that the distance between adjacent skips does not exceed 2 metres, the row shall be guarded as if it were one skip).
3.

2. Each skip shall be positioned so that its longer sides are parallel to the edge of the carriageway and as near to the edge of the carriageway as is reasonably practicable and so that it does not impede the surface water drainage of the road nor obstruct access to any manhole of the apparatus of any statutory undertaker of the Council or any fire hydrants.
3. Where more than one skip is on the road at anyone time, the skips shall be positioned as closely as possible to each other, but not so as to obstruct access to any premises unless the consent of the occupier of those premises has been obtained.
4. Any skip used by way of this permission and sited on road shall not contain asbestos, noxious, toxic, inflammable, explosive or otherwise dangerous material and advice should be sought from the Environmental & Consumer Protection Division of the Council regarding the correct disposal of any such material.

Section 85 (3) makes it an offence to use a skip in contravention of the Act and specifies a fine not exceeding £400.
13. Not withstanding the granting of this permission, Section 86 of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 empowers a police officer to have removed or repositioned any builder’s skip which is causing or likely to cause a danger or obstruction irrespective of permission being granted under Section 85. Failure to comply with a request to remove or reposition a skip may result in a fine not exceeding £100.
