London has some of the strictest waste and parking rules in the UK. Narrow streets, controlled parking zones, and heavy traffic mean skip placement must follow local council guidelines.

It usually costs between £30 and £165 and takes 3 to 5 working days, depending on the borough’s policy.
Areas like Soho and Mayfair fall under the CPZ, where the parking is restricted for specific hours and requires bay suspension. Our experts will manage, but please confirm your placement before booking.
