How to get a skip bin permit in Yarra City Council

Yarra City skip bins for homes and businesses

Residents of Yarra City Council are entitled to two free hard rubbish collections per calendar year. These are not available to commercial properties, however. There are also restrictions to what you can place kerbside for collection.

Each collection must not exceed 2 cubic metres, in total. Items cannot be longer than 1.5 metres and no individual items can weight more than 50 kgs. This is because the council will usually send one or two people to collect hard rubbish, so your items must be easy to lift.

So, what do you do if you need to get rid of things like concrete and rubble from a demolition site? Or you’re downsizing and moving house, and need to get rid of a large amount of furniture? At WM Waste Management Services, we offer a huge range of skip bin sizes for hire in Yarra City Council. Fill in our online instant quote form to find the right solution for your home or business.

Apply for a skip bin permit in Yarra City

If you’d like to place your skip bin on public land, owned by the council, you’ll need to apply for a skip bin permit. If you need to place the bin on a laneway, road, or a location where pedestrian and motorist access will be restricted, you’ll need to apply for a Road/Footpath Occupation Permit.

Both application processes can be hard to navigate, and take time. At WM Waste, we’ve had plenty of experience in applying for skip bin permits, and can help you with your application. Get in touch with our friendly team, and we’ll help you get started.

What are my responsibilities when hiring a skip bin in Yarra City Council?

There are a few restrictions to where you can place your skip bin once your application has been approved. Your skip bin cannot be placed in:

  • Clearway times
  • No stopping areas
  • Loading zones
  • Disabled parking bays

You’ll need to ensure you remain compliant with Yarra City’s rules and regulations. You can find out more information by visiting the council’s website, or reading the Vic Roads Guideline for Placement of Skips on Roadsides.
