The most recent 8 yard skip (medium size for domestic builders) I hired was £245.
That is outside London hiring from a skip company I do regular business with so I would imagine that in London it would be more, also most people would have to pay for a parking suspension so they had somewhere to put it as well as hoarding round the skip to stop the neighbours filling the thing up.

In my experience a lot of homeowners don't know the cost of removing waste. When I organise a skip for a client as part of work I'm doing in their house 90% of the time the cost comes as a shock. Sometimes the client will ask me to bag up waste so they can dispose of it themselves. What they do afterwards I don't know but if someone comes along and offers to get rid of the problem for relatively little money I'd imagine more than one or two people would be tempted
FYI there is no such thing as a waste removal licence. There is a waste carrier's licence, it costs £164 and lasts 3 years, most people who own a commercial vehicle have one.
