Skip hire in Tottenham
Skiphire in Tottenham (N15 & N17) by Proskips – quick, tidy and great value
Need Skiphire in Tottenham without the faff? Proskips makes waste removal simple for homes, landlords, trades and local businesses across N15 and N17. Tell us your job, pick a size, and we’ll deliver when it suits—same-day or next-day where possible—then collect promptly so your project keeps moving. From mini and midi skips to classic builders’ skips, we handle the logistics, the guidance and (when needed) the permit advice.
Because we operate from our North London depot, Tottenham drop-offs are fast and predictable—perfect for tight refurb schedules, garden clear-outs and end-of-tenancy blitzes.
Skip sizes for every Tottenham project
Choosing the right capacity keeps costs down and loading safe. Here’s a quick guide:
- 4 yard (mini): great for garden waste, small DIY and light household declutters.
- 6 yard (midi): ideal for kitchen/bathroom refits; handles heavier waste like soil, bricks and tiles.
- 8 yard (builders’): the popular all-rounder for extensions, renovations and bulkier mixed waste.
- 12 yard (large/light): for higher-volume light waste, office clearances and shop fits.
Not sure what you need? Give us a quick rundown of the materials and access, and we’ll recommend a size that fits—no upsell, just practical advice.
Permits, access and what can go in
If your skip needs to sit on the road, you’ll usually require a council permit. We’ll flag timings, costs and the easiest way to get approval so there are no surprises. For placement, a level, accessible spot is best; we’ll help you check for low branches, cables, manholes and tight gateways before delivery.
What’s fine to load: wood, metal, plastics, cardboard, furniture, packaging, soil, rubble and green waste.
Check first: mattresses, fridges/white goods, TVs/monitors, tyres, paint, solvents or anything hazardous.
If in doubt, send a quick note when you book and we’ll point you to the safe (and legal) route.

Tips for smoother Skiphire in Tottenham
- Load smart: place flat items first, break down bulky pieces and avoid air pockets.
- Keep it level: we can’t move overloaded containers—fill to the level line only.
- Protect paving: boards help on block paving or softer ground.
- Think density: soil, hardcore and tiles are heavy—sometimes two smaller skips beat one big one.
- Plan ahead for permits: roadside placements need extra lead time; we’ll flag the best route.
Domestic, trade and commercial projects
Whether you’re clearing a flat near Tottenham Hale, landscaping in West Green, or managing a refurbishment around Seven Sisters, Proskips scales to suit:
- Households: declutters, moves, garden makeovers and room refits.
- Trades & builders: dependable turnarounds, sensible pricing and no-drama exchanges.
- Shops & offices: short-term skips for fit-outs, seasonal resets and reactive maintenance.
Our aim is simple: keep your site tidy, costs controlled and collections punctual—so you can focus on the work.

Waste Disposal Facts in Tottenham
How much does a skip cost
The answer is based on three factors. (a) The amount of rubbish you have to dispose of and therefore the size of the skip you will require (b) The type of rubbish you have and that needs to be disposed of (c) Your geographic location the skip will be required.
Do I need a Skip Licence from the council
This depends on where you are placing the skip. If it is on a public road, or highway, the answer is yes. If it is on private property the answer is no. If you need more information please phone the office and speak to any of our team, we’re always here to help.
How much do Skip Permits Cost
The cost of a Skip Licence or Permit will vary depending on your geographic location within the UK, as well as the council and borough granting the permit. Each council controls its own licensing fees and Proskips unfortunately have no way of influencing or reducing these fees but regularly challenge councils across the UK on our customers behalf..
Who applies for and issues Skip Licenses and Permits
Local councils provide Skip Licenses and Permits. In most instances, Proskips will be allowed to apply for the Skip Permit on behalf of our customers. However in some areas, councils require the individual or business hiring the skip to apply for their permit or licence directly. We would recommend you visit your local councils’ website to understand what their process and specific requirements are.
How long do Skip Permits last
Depending on the local council who will be providing your Skip Permit or Licence, permits are generally granted for 14 or 28 days. Most councils are however more than happy to allow for this initial period to be extended (for an additional fee), so we would recommend that you contact them in advance if you need more time. Please note that the onus is on yourself, as if you keep a skip for longer than the timeframe allowed by your permit, you may be liable for a fine.
What happens if my skip is on the road without a permit
You will be breaking the law. We will not place a skip on a road without a valid permit under any circumstances in any borough throughout the UK. Do not forget that you will not need a permit if you are putting your skip entirely on private property – on your driveway.
