Placement and waste rules in Wellington
Rules differ between councils. Link directly to the current official source for each covered area.
Skip placement & road-corridor permits — Wellington
Place your skip on your own property wherever possible. Wellington City Council publishes conditions for placing skip and waste bins in the road corridor (berm, footpath edge or road) — you may need approval, skips can't block footpaths, and clearances apply around fire hydrants and utility covers. Rules vary between Wellington, Hutt, Porirua and Kāpiti councils, so check with your local council; we'll advise on placement at delivery.

Wellington City Council — Southern Landfill, Tip Shop & Recycle Centre
For DIY drop-offs, the Southern Landfill, Tip Shop and Recycle Centre (Happy Valley Road) takes general, green and hazardous waste and sells recycled goods and compost. Hutt, Porirua and Kāpiti have their own transfer stations. Check accepted items and hours first — a hired skip is simpler for larger loads.

Green waste, cleanfill & heavy loads — Wellington
Green waste is accepted at the Southern Landfill and can be booked as a green-waste-only skip. Cleanfill is natural material only — clay, gravel, rock and uncontaminated soil; hardfill and heavy loads (concrete, brick, tile, soil) are charged by weight, so tell us if your load is heavy.

Regional questions
Wellington skip bin FAQs
Do I need a permit to put a skip bin on the road or berm in Wellington?
If the bin fits on your property — a driveway or off-street area — no permit is needed. If it has to go on the berm or road, that's Wellington City Council's road corridor and you may need council approval for public safety. Skips can't sit on footpaths, and we keep clear of fire hydrants and utility covers. We'll advise on placement at delivery.
What can I put in a Wellington skip bin?
General household clean-ups, renovation waste, timber, furniture and garden waste are fine. Heavy loads — concrete, brick, tile and soil (hardfill) — are charged by weight, so let us know. We can't take hazardous items: asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, batteries or liquids. Ask us first if you're unsure.
How long can I keep the skip bin?
Standard hire covers several days, which suits most home and garden projects. Need longer? Call us on 0800 449 197 and we'll arrange an extension.
Do you take green waste in Wellington?
Yes — green-waste-only skips (branches, prunings, leaves and grass) are available and priced for lighter garden loads. the Southern Landfill in Wellington also accepts green waste if you'd rather drop it off yourself.
How quickly can you deliver a skip bin in Wellington?
Often the next working day, and sometimes same day depending on the operator and your suburb. Enter your delivery postcode above to see live availability for your address.
