Skip Bin Permit Requirements in Hume
In Hume, the skip bin company must apply to Council for permission before a bin is placed on the road or nature strip. A domestic skip bin needs a casual permit for each placement, lodged through Council's eHume portal. Builders' skips on a building site need an Asset Protection Permit, with a siting plan and proof of public liability insurance.

Hume's growth areas, such as Craigieburn, Mickleham and Roxburgh Park, have narrow new streets that are busy with builders' vehicles, so we check where a bin can sit without blocking driveways or traffic. In older parts of Sunbury and Broadmeadows, nature strips are often wider, but street trees and power poles can limit where the truck can drop the bin.
Private property: A bin placed completely within your property, such as on a driveway or front lawn, does not need a Hume permit.
Public land: A bin on the road or nature strip needs a permit before delivery. For builders' skips on the nature strip, Hume also requires the company's name and phone number on the bin, reflective tape, and a flashing yellow light on the roadside corner. Council can impound a bin placed dangerously or against its policy and charge the costs to its owner.
Skip Bin Hire Duration and Conditions
Most Hume customers keep their bin for between a few days and a week, and longer hire is available for renovations and building sites. If the bin is on the street, the permit covers that placement, so let us know early if you need to extend. Always check with Hume Council to ensure no special events or road closures impact approved bin placement locations.
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.
