Council & permits

Do you need a permit in Melbourne?

It depends on where the bin goes. Metropolitan Melbourne is divided into 31 councils, and each requires a permit for a skip on the nature strip, footpath or road, with different fees and timelines. A bin fully on your own driveway usually needs none. Many inner suburbs also sit under heritage overlays, which shape how a renovation is staged.

Where it goes

Where your Melbourne load ends up

Melbourne's waste largely moves through private transfer stations to landfill, and Victoria's levy is a big part of the price.

Ravenhall landfill

The Melbourne Regional Landfill, one of the city's largest, run by Cleanaway.

Brooklyn & south-east transfer stations

Cleanaway consolidation points that bundle waste for landfill.

Victorian levy

About $170 a tonne on metro landfill, one of the steepest anywhere, baked into the gate fees.

What locals clear out

What Melbourne clears out

Period-home renos, reactive-clay digs and booming growth corridors give Melbourne its own mix of skip jobs.

Renovations of the Victorian terraces, bungalows and weatherboards
Excavation and foundation spoil off the reactive clay in the north and west
New-build waste across the Wyndham, Melton and Casey growth corridors
Garden clean-ups and council hard-rubbish overflow
End-of-lease and rental turnovers in the inner suburbs
Deceased estates and whole-home declutters
Keep these out

What can't go in the skip

Asbestos. Kept out of any general or open skip. Victorian householders move only a small amount, double-wrapped and labelled, to an EPA-authorised landfill, so ring ahead.
Gas bottles, paint and chemicals. Pressurised and liquid waste goes to a chemical drop-off or transfer station, never the skip.
E-waste and batteries. E-waste is banned from Victorian landfill, so batteries and electronics go to a drop-off.
Tyres and mattresses. Taken by most yards, each with a surcharge.
