Council permits in the Inner West

The Inner West is served by Inner West Council, formed in 2016 from the former Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville councils. You only need a permit when the skip bin is placed on public land — Council states it is an offence to stand a bin on any footpath or carriageway without approval, so a Skip Bin User Permit is required for road placement (a bin on your own driveway or property usually needs none). Where public placement is required, Local Skip Bin Hire arranges the permit for you and the council fee is added to your booking.

Council references are a guide only and were reviewed on 19 July 2026 against Inner West Council's own website — always confirm current requirements with your council. See the national council permit guide.

  • Processing time: permit emailed within two business days (extensions must be applied for at least two business days before the free period ends).

What Inner West Council asks for:
