Do you need a permit for skip bins in Estella?

Estella holds itself out as “A designed environment for better living”. Any kind of community that advertises itself in that way is one you can be sure will have very strict restrictions on many things you might want to do in that community.

The local government agency responsible for administration in Estella is the Wagga Wagga City Council. This is certainly one of the strictest councils in Australia when it comes to things like skip bin placement, and the essential information is that putting a skip bin on public land in Estella is simply not permitted for anyone except the council itself (the council used skip bins on Clean Up Australia Day).

That means you need to make sure your skip bin fits totally within the boundary of your own privately held land. The good side of this policy is that you don’t need to worry about an approvals process or paying a permit fee. There is no permit available for the activity at present.

Preparing for skip bin delivery

With such strict council regulations in place, you’ll need to make sure you have prepared sufficient room on your property for your skip bin to be delivered and installed. Decide in advance where the bin should go, and clear a path to that location.

Avoid piling up items for disposal in such a way that they could delay the speedy delivery and installation of the bin. Many people do make that mistake, and instead of helping them be more efficient, it just makes the task slower and more difficult.

Using your skip bin properly

Whichever size of skip bin you choose from Jim’s Skip Bins, it will have a generous capacity, allowing you to dispose of a wide variety of materials. Most general types of waste and unwanted items can be disposed of in your skip bin. There are, however, some important exceptions.

If you throw out items that could be regarded as potentially hazardous or polluting, these are likely to be prohibited either at the local, state, or federal level (and sometimes all three). It’s mostly a matter of common sense to determine which items should not be disposed of in this way, but some items are not quite as obvious as others.

One of the prohibited items that slips under the radar for many people, because they don’t realise it is unsafe, is plasterboard. The problem with plasterboard is that it contains gypsum, which can cause biodegradable substances to emit hydrogen sulphide gas which is noxious and very poisonous even in small doses. So it’s little things like that where you can slip up.

Other items to not take risks with include:

• Batteries
• Chemicals
• Firearms
• Explosives
• Ammunition
• Lead
• Zinc
• Fluorescent tubes
• Medical waste
• Flammable liquids (eg petroleum)

Disposal of some of these items without taking them to authorised collection points or in accordance with the specific laws that apply (for example, laws related to the disposal of medical and biological waste) can result in serious trouble.
