Approved Waste Container Companies
Companies Approved for Operation On Council Roads and Footpaths
When you need to hire a waste container for construction waste, and it cannot fit within your property boundaries, you must obtain a permit to place the bin on Council's roads and footpaths. To obtain a permit, you should first arrange hire of your bin from one of the companies listed below (who have registered with Council), then contact Council and pay any permit fees applicable.
Fees for July 2012 – June 2013
A permit for 7 days (or less) is free and can be obtained quickly over the phone.
Permits for more than 7 days cost $91 per week (including GST) and an application form to be completed. Payment must be received by Council before the permit can be issued. These fees are current to for the 2012-13 financial year and in accordance with the current Schedule of Fees and Charges.
Citizens who use a waste container that is not approved by Marrickville Council may be issued with an infringement notice by Council's rangers.
Choosing and placing the bin
- A waste container should only be placed on a Council footpath in instances where:
- it is not possible (due to a severe lack of space) to store waste products upon private property; AND
- it is not possible to place a waste container on the roadway (as a result of it not being legal to park a motor vehicle on the street outside the premises).
- A waste container can only be placed on a footpath or other public place where it is possible, at all times, to maintain a completely unobstructed pedestrian access way, of at least 1.5 metres in width, between the property boundary and the waste container.
- The maximum size for a waste container placed on a footpath or other public place is 3.6m long x 1.5m wide x 1.5m high.
- A waste container should only be placed on a roadway where parking restrictions (or other Australian Road Rules) do not restrict the stopping or parking of a motor vehicle (including 'No Stopping', 'No Standing' and 'No Parking' areas).
- The maximum size for a waste container placed on a Council road or public carpark is 4.8m long x 1.8m wide x 1.5m high.
- Permission must be obtained from the Roads and Traffic Authority for the placement of a waste container on the roadway along a State Road.
Please consider others and place the waste container as close to your property as possible.
