As each council differs in their requirements, we recommend you visit your local council’s website for more information. Failure to obtain a skip bin permit here necessary may result in a fine.
Council permits can be costly, so wherever possible we suggest for the skip bin to be placed within your property boundary. For this reason, it may be more economical to have two small bins within the property than one larger bin on public property.
Do I need a Permit?
When skip bin is placed on a public property, council permit is required.
Please allow adequate time for your application to be processed and approved. Local councils will only issue approval once payment is processed.
You may also require a copy of our Public Liability Policy (PDF) .
Please note we will not deliver your skip bin until the necessary permit has been obtained. You must keep receipt of council approval on site at all times during the skip bin hire period.

Brown Bros are the best – easy to deal with, fast and efficient. We have used them many times for domestic loads plus renovation waste – they can handle all load types of all sizes, no problem. Their drivers are fantastic – friendly, careful and low stress. I cannot recommend Brown Bros enough.

Brown Bros gave me good advice on the type of bin, loading limits etc over the phone to help me select the right bin for my property. I was very happy with the drivers who dropped off and picked up the bins.Robert De Cataldo
