Bundoora, 3083
Macleod is a quiet suburb of post-war family homes on decent-sized blocks. Typical jobs are kitchen and bathroom renovations, garage clean-outs and garden waste, usually with room for a bin on the driveway. When there's no room on site, we arrange the Banyule permit before delivery.
Macleod is in the City of Banyule, so Banyule's rules apply when a bin goes on the road or nature strip. Banyule requires a permit for a skip bin on public land, which includes streets, footpaths, nature strips and public laneways, whether managed by Council or VicRoads. If the bin will close or restrict public access, a courtesy letter must go to every home and business within 150 metres at least 7 days before placement. Council responds to applications within 5 working days.

Private property: A bin on your driveway or elsewhere on private land does not need a Banyule permit.
Road or nature strip: A bin on the road, footpath, nature strip or a public laneway needs a permit before delivery. Banyule impounds bins that restrict public access without approval, and fines can apply. We lodge the permit for you when you book.

Around Banyule, the jobs we see most often are:
Most Banyule customers keep a bin for a few days to a week. Allow extra lead time if your bin needs a courtesy letter, because neighbours must get at least 7 days' notice.
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.
