Skip Bin Permit City of Canning
If your skip is going on a road, footpath, nature strip or parking bay in the City of Canning area, that is council land and the rules below apply. On your own driveway or property, they generally do not. The permit covers the City's verge only. The guidelines acknowledge verge use arises because 'smaller block sizes and constrained development sites mean that adequate space for storage, building materials, skip bins, and the like may not always be available on private land.'

Conditions the council sets
- 'All materials must not be placed in such a way as to obstruct or overhang a footpath, carriageway, access way or driveway. Where there is no footpath, a safe and clear access of a minimum width of 1m along that part of the verge immediately adjacent to the kerb must be maintained, unless approved otherwise.'
- Materials must be stored so no obstruction or damage is caused to 'manholes, inspection pits, fire hydrant, water or gas valve, electrical substation, power pole drainage gully, water channel or any other service in the verge area for which access may be required'
- 'storage of materials shall not encroach closer than 2m to the trunk of the tree'; where there is a street tree on the verge 'it must be adequately fenced for the duration of the storage of materials'
- The application must be supported by 'a site plan clearly showing where the materials are to be stored, and how high the storage will be'
- Bins must be placed so they do not obstruct or overhang a footpath, carriageway, access way, or driveway 'or cause any sight obstruction'
