Sunderland's licence prices

Sunderland City Council registers skip operators and licenses each skip. For 2025 to 2026 a licence costs:

  • £34 for 7 days in the city centre
  • £34 for 14 days elsewhere
  • £47 for 21 days
  • £58 for 28 days

A retrospective licence costs £335, so a skip that goes out without one is an expensive mistake. Processing usually takes two working days, and nothing is granted automatically.

Sunderland cottages

The city's distinctive single-storey terraced cottages, found in areas such as Hendon, Pallion, High Barnes, Ryhope and Fulwell, have narrow frontages and no drives. Measure the space outside before you order, and ask the supplier for the exact width of the skip.

Resident parking

Parking schemes cover areas including Ashbrooke, Millfield near the university, the Stadium of Light and Roker Marina, so a skip there may need a bay arranged.

There's no Clean Air Zone in Sunderland. See the skip permit guide.
