Apply for a skip bin / container permit

You will need a skip bin / container permit to place an item on a nature strip or road within the Frankston municipality.

We recommend that you contact a local skip bin or container rental company before applying, as these companies will normally arrange any permits required.

You must submit your application to Council at least 48 hours prior to placing your skip bin or shipping container.

Note: containers can’t be placed on a nature strip.
