Terms and conditions

You need to position your skip bin safely:
  • Place it so that it’s not hazardous or a nuisance to any road or footpath user (otherwise you’ll need to remove it at your own cost.)
  • Make sure it has white markings and reflective markings so it can be seen at night – depending on the location, you may also need to make sure it is illuminated at night.
  • If you’re placing it on Council property (which includes roads, footpaths, berms and public areas), these are the minimum requirements:
    • white and reflective markers (minimum 50mm wide, 65mm long) facing oncoming traffic
    • clearly named with the bin company name and contact details (24-hour contact number)
  • Place it 1 metre away from manhole covers and access points to underground services or fire hydrants.
  • Place it wholly on the road (not partially on kerb edge or footpath) using blocks if needed for levelling.
  • Leave at least 4 metre of clear road between it and the outside edge of the car park on the opposite side of the road so that emergency services can get through if they need to.
  • Leave at least 1 metre between it and driveway access points so that vehicles can easily go in and out.
  • Place it on the road only when it’s required – it can only be there for a maximum of 14 days – it can’t be stored there.
  • For “half skips”, position them so that the opening is facing away from oncoming traffic travelling on the same side of the road.
If you're application's approved, we'll email you a copy of these terms and conditions with your permit.

Submitting this application will be taken as your agreement to these terms and conditions.
