If your bin is going to be placed on private land you probably will not need a permit, but if the bin placed outside your gate or somewhere that is considered public land you probably will.

The best thing to do is contact your local council and let them know where you intend to place the bin.  They will tell you what you need to know about arranging a permit for the placement if it is deemed necessary.

Some suppliers are able to arrange these for you when you book your bin on bookabin.com.au, but the price does not include council permit fees.  If a permit is applicable, the fees will be charged to you directly by the supplier.
