Please think carefully about the positioning of your skip. Skips must not:
-
cause a lack of visibility for road users
-
be sited on a corner/junction
-
be sited on yellow lines
-
cause obstruction to traffic and/or pedestrians
-
be sited if the footway and/or carriageway is too narrow.
To place a skip on the road you must hire a skip from a skip operating company registered with the borough. This company will apply for a licence on your behalf.
Christmas Embargo – Please note no skips are to be placed on Lewisham Roads between Tuesday 22nd December 2020 and Sunday 3rd January 2021.

Companies need to give proof of public liability insurance and a copy of their standard waste transfer processes in order to get a license to provide skips in Lewisham. This information is updated annually.
If you wish to place a skip on the public highway you must use a Lewisham registered company. You must also make your own enquiries into the company to make sure it matches your requirements. This would include a check on insurance and other relevant information. We will not accept liability for any damage or financial loss resulting from the use of any of these companies.
If you require a large roll on roll off skip please contact 020 8314 6565.
