Tower Hamlets Council — Permit required

  • Cost: Charged at cost, shown transparently at checkout
  • Lead time: At least 4–7 working days

Builders bags on public land also require a permit. Do not obstruct pavements, pedestrian access, driveways, traffic, sight lines or emergency access; roadside skips must be lit and reflectively marked, and are generally limited to 8 yards (larger sizes need council approval). Wait & Load can avoid a permit; public liability insurance may be required.

Sortera takes the stress out of securing permits for skip hire on public highways in Tower Hamlets. We handle the application process, ensuring compliance with Tower Hamlets Council’s requirements, including lighting and reflective markings.

We advise on placement restrictions, ensuring skips do not obstruct pedestrian or emergency access. Our team provides clear timelines and cost transparency, so you’re informed every step of the way.
