Bulk rubbish containers (skips)

Skip bins on private land do not require a permit under the Local Law.

If you are planning to place a skip bin or shipping container on Council land you need to apply for a permit.

To apply:

• complete a 2018 Permit Application Bulk Rubbish Container (download below)
• pay the relevant fee
• supply proof of your public liability insurance for $10 million covering Council
• email the documents to mitchell@mitchellshire.vic.gov.au, post to Mitchell Shire Council, 113 High Street, Broadford VIC 3658, or deliver in person at any of our Customer and Library Service Centres

We may inspect the proposed site and make sure that the skip won’t obscure sightlines, access or cause damage to any public place. If we issue a permit it may include conditions.
