Sometimes you need more than a bag to get rid of rubbish. Skip bins and containers are excellent for clean outs, but there are a few rules around where you put them.
Skip bin and container companies
are responsible for their safe placement.
Conditions of skip bin and container placement
Skip bins and containers should be placed on the hirer’s property wherever possible.
Companies must be permitted by Porirua City Council to allow the placement of containers or skip bins on the road or other Council property.
Individual hirers do not have to obtain a permit.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 the responsibility of safe placement of skip bins and containers lies with the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU).
Non-compliance can result in fines of up to $100,000.
