Skip placement & road-corridor permits — Taranaki
Place your skip on your own property wherever possible. New Plymouth District Council issues permits for skip bins and other temporary obstructions placed on the road, footpath edge or berm (the road corridor). Skips can't block footpaths and must keep clear of fire hydrants and utility covers. If your bin needs to go on public land, check the council's skip-bin permit page or ask us at delivery.

New Plymouth District Council — transfer station
For DIY drop-offs, the Colson Road Transfer Station and Regional Landfill (31 Colson Road, New Plymouth) accepts general landfill waste and green waste, including grass clippings, hedge trimmings and leaves. Check accepted items and hours first — a hired skip is simpler for renovation or clean-up loads.

Green waste, cleanfill & heavy loads — Taranaki
Green waste is accepted at the Colson Road transfer station and can be booked as a green-waste-only skip. Cleanfill is natural material only — clay, gravel, rock and uncontaminated soil; hardfill and heavy loads (concrete, brick, tile, soil) are charged by weight, so tell us if your load is heavy.

Regional questions
Taranaki skip bin FAQs
Do I need a permit to put a skip bin on the road or berm in Taranaki?
If the bin fits on your property — a driveway or off-street area — no permit is needed. If it has to go on the berm or road, that's New Plymouth District Council's road corridor and you may need council approval for public safety. Skips can't sit on footpaths, and we keep clear of fire hydrants and utility covers. We'll advise on placement at delivery.
What can I put in a Taranaki skip bin?
General household clean-ups, renovation waste, timber, furniture and garden waste are fine. Heavy loads — concrete, brick, tile and soil (hardfill) — are charged by weight, so let us know. We can't take hazardous items: asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, batteries or liquids. Ask us first if you're unsure.
How long can I keep the skip bin?
Standard hire covers several days, which suits most home and garden projects. Need longer? Call us on 0800 449 197 and we'll arrange an extension.
Do you take green waste in Taranaki?
Yes — green-waste-only skips (branches, prunings, leaves and grass) are available and priced for lighter garden loads. the Colson Road transfer station in New Plymouth also accepts green waste if you'd rather drop it off yourself.
How quickly can you deliver a skip bin in Taranaki?
Often the next working day, and sometimes same day depending on the operator and your suburb. Enter your delivery postcode above to see live availability for your address.
