Marty will ask your requirements at time of order or on arrival and place the skip bin in an appropriate location for your ease of access which causes minimal impact on property; driveways etc, and for our ease of removal once filled. Under NO circumstances is a skip bin to be moved due to OH&S reasons.

As a general rule, the skip bin needs to be placed on private property. This includes most driveways if they are within the boundaries of your property. Your driveway needs to be at least 3 metres wide for a normal truck to fit in the driveway. You should also ensure there are no power lines or trees that may hinder the access and placement of the skip bin at time of delivery. If you think that access may be difficult, feel free to discuss the location of the skip bin with Marty.

If the skip bin is placed on your property, you do not need permission or a permit. However, if the skip bin is to be placed on public lands, nature strips or driveway lay backs, a permit may be required. Different councils have different regulations.

Where possible Marty will try to take the skip bin, once the overloaded item(s) are removed from the top of the bin, the overloaded item(s) where possible will be left in a neat pile near the side of the skip bin.
