Local waste information for Southwark

Taking waste to the tip in Southwark

Anyone visiting Southwark’s reuse and recycling centre in a van or similar goods vehicle needs a permit, and residents can apply for up to 4 van permits a year. Vehicles can enter only between 8:30am and 9:30am on the booked date. Trailers, tippers and specialist vehicles are not allowed, only waste from your own household is accepted, and commercial waste from any trade or business is not. Bring a driving licence and another form of ID showing an address that matches the permit. See the council’s van visit page. Checked against the council’s own page on 24 October 2026. Rules change, so confirm on the official page before you travel.

Why many people book a carrier instead

Four van permits a year and a one-hour entry window make a carrier easier for a big clear-out. Many council sites limit or charge for DIY and building waste, and a small car means several dirty, heavy trips. A registered carrier loads it all in one visit. See rubbish removal, house clearance and builders’ waste removal.

Grab hire in Southwark

Lots of jobs around Southwark produce heavy, loose waste: footings, patios, new driveways and garden makeovers. A grab lorry clears it in one visit without hand loading, which is why builders and landscapers across Greater London prefer it to skips.
