What happens if I don’t get a permit from Knox Council?

WM Waste only delivers skip bins once the required permit is in place. Placing a bin on public land without a permit can lead to fines or the bin being removed.

What happens if I cancel my skip bin order?

If you cancel your order before the permit has been submitted to Knox City Council, you are eligible for a full refund. If the permit has already been submitted but the skip bin has not yet been loaded onto the truck, you will receive a full refund for the bin cost, but the permit fee is not refundable.

What happens if I obtain a permit but WM Waste’s hire period is 4 days?

The council permit does not always align with the standard hire period of 4 days. Should you require the skip bin for a longer duration to match the length of your permit, additional hire fees apply at a rate of $20-$30 per extra day.
