Edinburgh Council Parking Bay Location & Charges
If the location of the skip is to be placed in a permit/pay & display parking bay, we will need to apply for this bay to be suspended depending on where the area will be dependent on any other charges which you will incur i.e. NSL within the Edinburgh Area charges are based on an hourly rate, running from 5-7 days depending on area. We would apply for the parking bay to be suspended at the same time as the permit application so there’s no delay in getting the skip to you.
A permit does NOT allow you to drop a skip on a pavement nor on a grass verge unless the local council within your area has given Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd authorisation.
When you call our staff will help to find a suitable location that will co-inside with councils conditions. We can speak with an engineer if required to confirm the location of the skip and if there’s any other conditions that need to be added.
If you’re not sure, please call our office and we will be happy to help resolve any questions you have.
