Croydon Skip Permits & Road Rules

  • Skip permit: Placing a skip on a road needs a permit from Croydon Council, and we arrange the permit for you. Permits last 7–14 days and cost between £55 and £110, taking 3 to 5 working days.
  • CPZ bay suspensions: In CPZ near East Croydon station or restricted streets, a bay suspension is needed to place a skip legally. Start at £33 per day. Without a valid bay suspension, the driver refuses delivery, and you could be fined.
  • Green Commitment: Waste is processed at high-tech facilities (e.g., Powerday or Bywaters) to maximize diversion from landfills.
  • Rapid Turnaround: Same-day (if booked before 10 am) and next-day delivery available across the CR0 and CR2 postcodes.
  • Red Routes: For skips on Red Routes (A23), specific TfL permission is required. We recommend hiring the Wait and Load service (20–30 mins) to bypass these permit costs.
