Tower Hamlets Council Skip Permit
Tiered + £60/space/day for 1-28 days. Required only if the skip is on the public highway, pavement or council-managed land. Set under Section 139 of the Highways Act 1980. Tower Hamlets does not charge a single flat fee. Its 2025-26 schedule sets a tiered admin charge (£31 for 1-7 days, £67 for 8-14 days, £75 for 15-28 days) plus £60 per parking space per day the skip occupies. A placement can run 1-28 days per application (extendable by repeat application up to three months). Confirm the total with the council for your placement. 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.
Skip Hire in Tower Hamlets: What to Expect
Tower Hamlets contains two distinct skip markets. The Canary Wharf E14 commercial market is dominated by major operators serving large-scale fit-out, demolition and refurb projects on the estate. The residential market across Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Mile End, Bow and Poplar is served by independent operators and runs on consumer pricing.
Tower Hamlets prices skip placement as a tiered admin charge (£31 for 1-7 days, £67 for 8-14 days, £75 for 15-28 days) plus £60 per parking space per day, rather than a single flat fee. Skip placement on the narrow Whitechapel and Bethnal Green streets can be access-constrained; Canary Wharf placements typically require estate management consent in addition to the borough licence.
Tower Hamlets Skip Hire FAQ
How much is a Tower Hamlets skip permit?

Can I have a skip in Canary Wharf?
Yes for residential and commercial projects, subject to both the Tower Hamlets permit and Canary Wharf Group estate management consent for placements on the estate itself.
