Fairfield has period homes on narrow streets near the Darebin Creek and Station Street shops. Renovations and garden clean-ups are common, and limited driveway space often means a road placement. Need the bin on the street? We lodge the Darebin permit for you when you book.
Fairfield is in the City of Darebin, so Darebin's rules apply when a bin goes on the road or nature strip. Darebin requires a permit to place a skip bin on a road. Each permit covers a one-off placement and is lodged through Council's eServices portal at least 4 days before the bin is due. Bin suppliers must also follow Darebin's guidelines for bulk rubbish containers.

Private property: A bin that fits completely on your property does not need a Darebin permit.
Road or nature strip: A bin on the road needs a permit, lodged at least 4 days before delivery, and must be placed under Victoria's Code of Practice for waste bins on roadsides. We lodge the permit for you when you book.

Around Darebin, the jobs we see most often are:
Most Darebin customers keep a bin for a few days to a week. Book at least 4 days ahead if the bin needs to sit on the street.
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.
