Balaclava mixes apartments, flats and older homes around Carlisle Street. Apartment clean-outs and renovations are common, and street parking is tight. If the bin needs to go on the street, we lodge the Port Phillip permit for you.
Balaclava is in the City of Port Phillip, so Port Phillip's rules apply when a bin goes on the road or nature strip. Port Phillip requires a skip bin permit before a bin goes on a road or Council land, and only registered skip bin suppliers can apply. The bin must sit in the parking lane, inside a marked bay where there is one, within the street frontage of the site it serves.
| Needed when | The bin sits on the road or nature strip |

Private property: A bin within your property boundary does not need a Port Phillip permit, though most homes here have no room for one.
Road or nature strip: A bin on the road needs a permit, reflective markings on each top corner and both ends, and the company's name and contact details. It must not hold materials that rot or smell. We lodge the permit for you when you book.

Street space is limited in Port Phillip, so most bins stay for a few days. Tell us your dates when you book so the permit covers them.
Bins need level, firm ground and enough room for the truck to reach the drop spot. Fill no higher than the rim so the bin can be covered and carried safely. Asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles and batteries cannot go in a skip bin; call us if you are unsure about an item. Not sure which size you need? Compare all our bin sizes.
