Ask about local event restrictions
Merton says road-skip licences may be restricted near events such as the Wimbledon Championships. Discuss the exact road and dates with the provider before booking.

Skip hire questions
These are the practical questions people usually want to settle before arranging skip hire in Merton.
Can I arrange delivery while permission is pending?
Do not place the skip on the road before approval. Ask the provider to confirm the licence first.
Does private land automatically mean easy delivery?
No. The lorry approach, standing surface and available lifting space still need assessment.
