When you book a skip bin, you may need to consider where our truck drivers will place them. There are options available, either you place them in your driveway or on the grass. However, if you’re planning on leaving it on the road, the local council of NSW will require a permit. This includes details such as where, how long and when you will place your skip.

Is it illegal to put your bins on the road in NSW?

In NSW, whether you can leave a skip bin on the road largely depends on local council regulations. Here are some key points to consider:

Skip Permit: Most local councils require a permit for placing a skip on a public road. This permit ensures that the skip is legally situated and that safety guidelines are adhered to.

Application Process: Typically, the skip hire company will handle the permit application on your behalf. With Pro Skips, we’ll ensure to complete the application on your behalf. However, it's your responsibility to ensure the permit is in place before we deliver the skip. If you need assistance on council permits, contact us.

Permit Fees: The cost of a permit varies between councils. Some councils may require a fee, and some may not.

What to consider when getting a council permit for skip bin?

For a skip to be placed on the road, certain safety requirements must be met to protect both pedestrians and motorists:

Visibility: The skip must be clearly visible, especially at night. This usually involves the use of reflective markings, lights, or cones around the skip.

Placement: Skips should not obstruct traffic or pedestrian pathways. The council may have specific guidelines on where and how you can place skips.

Inform your neighbors: It’s respectful to inform your nearby neighbors that you will be placing a skip bin.

Are there penalties and fines?

Failure to comply with local regulations can result in penalties and fines. If you place a skip bin on the road without a permit, it may lead to fines from the local council.

If you have enough space in your driveway or your grass, it’s ideal to place your skip bins within your property.

However, if you live within properties with no garden or driveway, placing it outside may be the only option. Whether it’s a residential or a commercial property, a permit is always required.

Conclusion

In summary, while skip bins can be left on the road, this is subject to local council regulations and safety requirements. Always ensure that you have the necessary permit and that the skip is placed in a safe and compliant manner.

By understanding these requirements and planning accordingly, you can ensure a hassle-free skip hire experience, whether your skip is on the road or on private property.
