Skip Bin Permit Requirements in Port Phillip
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.

Port Phillip's streets and laneways are tight, so Council requires at least 3 metres of clear width to the opposite kerb, including in laneways. Bins must stay off footpaths, nature strips, vehicle crossings, clearways and no-parking areas, and narrow streets need flashing yellow lights from sunset to sunrise.
Private property: A bin within your property boundary does not need a Port Phillip permit, though most homes here have no room for one.
Public land: 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.
Skip Bin Hire Duration and Conditions
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. Always check with Port Phillip 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.
