Knox City Council bin hire permits

What you need to know before hiring a skip bin in the Knox City Council area

Knox City Council bin hire for homes and businesses

Like all other councils in Melbourne, Knox City Council requires that people hiring a skip bin obtain proper permits before they start throwing trash away.

While residents can apply for their own skip bin placement permit, it is much easier to work with one of the local accredited businesses that already have their own permits in place.

WM Waste Management Services is one such business. By hiring skip bins of any size through us, you don’t have to worry about navigating the bureaucratic processes of Knox City Council.
