Lambeth Council Skip Permit

£80 for per licence (2026/27). Required only if the skip is on the public highway, pavement or council-managed land. Set under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. Lambeth Council's 2026/27 highways-licence fees schedule lists an £80 skip-licence fee (the same figure for a road with no markings, a single yellow line, a suspended parking bay or a traffic-sensitive road). The schedule does not state a fixed licence period, so confirm the duration when you apply. Required only if the skip is on a public road, not a private driveway. For comparison with other UK councils see the full permits guide.

Got a skip question this page did not cover?

Email it across. Every message is read by a person, not a bot. We answer the ones we can and say plainly where the figure came from. There is no turnaround we will promise you. Should the answer be worth the next reader seeing, we may put an anonymised version on the site, but only after you have agreed to it.

Worth knowing: this is a price reference, not waste regulation advice. A skip left on the public highway needs a permit from the council that owns the road, and what you may legally load into one changes from operator to operator and from one waste type to the next. Confirm both with the operator you book and with your council.
