Port Melbourne, 3207
Docklands is made up of apartment towers and commercial buildings. Apartment clean-outs and office fit-outs are typical, and deliveries are planned around loading zones and building access. When there's no room on site, we arrange the Melbourne permit before delivery.
Docklands is in the City of Melbourne, so Melbourne's rules apply when a bin goes on the road or nature strip. The City of Melbourne requires a permit to place a skip bin on a road, under its Activities Local Law 2024. Permits are lodged online, and delivering or collecting a bin outside normal hours needs separate approval.

Private property: A bin within your property boundary does not need a road permit, though few inner-city sites have room for one.
Road or nature strip: A bin on the road needs a permit before delivery and must follow the City of Melbourne's permit conditions and Victoria's Code of Practice for waste bins on roadsides. We lodge the permit for you when you book.

Around Melbourne, the jobs we see most often are:
Inner-city bins often stay for shorter periods because street space is limited. Tell us your timeline when you book so the permit matches it.
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.
