A note on this figure: the $65.00 per week fee is as listed by the Australian Government's ABLIS service for 2026-27 — we could not read it on a page of the council's own website, so confirm it with the City of Hobart before you rely on it.

Conditions the council sets
The council's published conditions for this permit were not available to us when we checked — ABLIS lists the permit and its fee, but not the placement conditions. Ask the City of Hobart for the current conditions when you apply.
How to apply
Applications go through Hobart City Council directly, not through us. Start here. Book the bin for a date that gives the permit time to come through, and have your delivery address and dates ready.
