If you're planning a clear-out, a renovation, or a garden tidy-up, one of the first questions is usually simple: do you need a permit for skip hire in Merton? The short answer is: sometimes yes, sometimes no.

If your garden near Morden Hall Park has turned into a tangle of branches, turf, soil bags, broken planters and a few mystery items that somehow appeared after a weekend tidy-up, you are not alone.
