Skip Bin Permits must be obtained by an accredited supplier and must be applied for 2 days prior to the anticipated skip bin delivery. Payment for the permit will be incorporated in the cost the skip bin company will charge you.

Please note:

  • The skip bin company must be registered with us before they can apply for a permit.
  • The City of Monash does not provide skip bins for hire.
  • If a Skip Bin Permit is not appropriate for the site, an Occupy Roadway Permit may allow for the skip bin to be placed there. This incorporates a more stringent process to allow for skip bin placement in more hazardous locations.
