Permit fees have councils skipping to the bank…

A straw poll by the National Skip Hire & Recycling Association reveals price differential.

A lack of standardisation on the cost of skip permits is allowing some local authorities to charge ludicrous sums, according to a new straw poll from the National Skip Hire and Recycling Association. Indeed, based upon a sample of 18 local authorities selected at random, permit fees vary from no charge in Leicester up to a staggering £26 per day PLUS a £72 application fee in Kensington and Chelsea.
