• It must be lit during hours of darkness.

• It must be covered when unattended (to prevent unauthorised dumping) and must be removed as soon as reasonably practical after being filled or the licence period ends.

• Placing a skip on the public highway without a valid licence in Haringey is subject to enforcement, including possible prosecution.
