Skip Bin Permit Town of Cambridge

If your skip is going on a road, footpath, nature strip or parking bay in the Town of Cambridge area, that is council land and the rules below apply. On your own driveway or property, they generally do not. "Where possible, skip bins should be stored on private property. If safe to do so, a skip bin can be stored on the verge immediately adjacent the property."
