How Skip Permits Work in Croydon

• Only skip‐supply companies (the skip hire operator) can apply for a skip permit in Croydon.
• You (the customer) should ensure you use a licensed operator and that the permit is in place before the skip is delivered.

• The permit is typically issued for up to 14 days initially.
• Extensions possible (every 14 days) via renewal.

• Croydon’s cost: £91 for up to 14 days + £91 for 14 days renewal
• Bay Suspension – £73.92 per day per bay for CPZ, £61.60 per day per bay for non CPZ. + Admin Fee £61.60

All prices exclude VAT

• On the public highway/roadway → permit required.
• On private land (driveway/garden) → no permit required.
• If the skip occupies a parking bay or is in a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), a parking bay suspension or dispensation may also be required.

• The skip hire operator must ensure safe siting, correct lighting/markings, compliance with highway safety.
• The location must be suitable; the council may refuse a permit if road is unsuitable/dangerous.

• If skip is placed on the highway without a valid permit (or required suspension), enforcement action can be taken by Croydon Council.
• The permit application does not guarantee approval — approval is still required after application.

• Application requires a minimum of 5 working days’ notice before start date.
