Compactor skip collections
The City of London is currently able to collect waste contained
in compactor skips of up to 12 cubic metres capacity. These skips
cannot be supplied by the City of London, but must be hired or
owned and maintained by the waste producer.
The collection of compactor skips is a specialist service and it
is recommended that any City business considering this type of
service contact Cleansing Services on 020 7606 3110 to arrange for
an on site visit to discuss the collection arrangements
required.
Collection of waste in compactor skips currently cost £136.00
plus VAT per skip , per collection.

When arranging a waste collection the waste producer will be
asked to complete a document called a Waste Transfer
Note. This document is a legal requirement and the City of
London cannot collect commercial waste without it.
Open skip collections
The City of London does not allow open skips to be stored on the
highway and does not issue skip permits. Under Duty of Care
legislation, skip operators are required to be registered with
Defra.
However, Cleansing Services is able to offer open skips for
hire, provided they are stored off the highway, within the
curtilage of the waste producers property.
Open skips can be hired on a one off basis or as part of a
regular collection service.
Any City business wishing to hire an open skip will need to
complete a Waste Transfer Note prior to the
collection being undertaken.
The current cost for the collection of waste in an open top skip
is £196.00 plus VAT per skip , per collection. Any City business
interested in this service should contact Cleansing Services on 020
7606 3110.

A City business arranging any waste collection service will be
asked to identify the types and quantities of waste produced. The
reasons for this are twofold:
- To ensure that the City of London is licensed to collect and
dispose of the type of waste produced.
- To ensure that the correct resources are allocated to meet the
requirements of City businesses.
If at any time the nature of a waste producer’s waste changes it
is the responsibility of the waste producer to notify the City of
London.
The City of London offers information and advice, free of
charge, to City businesses who are considering the introduction of
new waste collection methods or equipment. Please contact
Cleansing Services on 020 7606 3110 to make use of this
service.
