Before you proceed with Newcastle skip bin placement on a public road, it’s essential to understand the regulations in place. Placing a skip bin on private property doesn’t require council consent, but road placement does. At Junkyard Skips, we ensure you’re informed and compliant with all necessary guidelines.

When you choose Junkyard Skips as your waste management partner, we take care of the skip bin application process on your behalf. Our experienced team fills in the necessary permits, presents it to the council, and makes the entire process hassle-free for you.
Newcastle Council Approval Process
Newcastle Council issues approvals for skip bin placement on roadways, including footpaths. The approval process typically takes around 72 hours, ensuring you can proceed with your waste management plans without unnecessary delays.
Duration and Limitations of Skip Bin Placement
Once approved, you can place the skip bin on the public road for a maximum of 28 days from the approval date. This provides you with ample time to complete your project without any rush.
Applying for a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit
In cases where you need to place a skip bin in a timed or restricted parking area, you’ll need to apply for a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit. This permit ensures that you have the necessary authorisation for skip bin placement.
Preferred Placement: Private Property
While skip bins can be placed on public roads, the preferred option is to put them on private property whenever possible. Adequate space on personal property reduces the need for council approvals and ensures a smoother process.
There is no associated fee if you have the space available on your property to accommodate the skip bin. This provides you with a cost-effective solution for waste disposal.
Central Coast and Lake Macquarie Councils: No Bin Fee
In the areas covered by Central Coast and Lake Macquarie Councils, skip bin placement does not incur any fees. This adds to the convenience and affordability of waste management.

The process of skip bin placement with Junkyard Skips is designed for your convenience. After receiving your order, we handle the permit application, present it to the council and obtain the necessary approval. Once approved, we will deliver the skip bin to your desired location.
