Simple pricing
What the price includes
Skip bin prices in Ku-ring-gai are all-inclusive: delivery, collection and the tip fee are built into the quoted price, up to the bin’s weight limit. A 4m³ bin here includes disposal of up to 1,000kg. You only pay extra if you go over that limit, which is charged by the tonne — so the price you are quoted is almost always the price you pay.
Heavy waste is what catches people out. Soil, brick, concrete and tile reach the weight limit long before they fill the bin, so for heavy loads a smaller bin is usually the right call, not a bigger one.

Choose the right size
What size skip bin do you need?
Cubic metres mean very little until you translate them. The rule of thumb that works: one cubic metre is roughly one box-trailer load, or about four wheelie bins.

What cannot go in any skip bin
Asbestos
Asbestos CANNOT be self-hauled to any council facility inside Ku-ring-gai, because Ku-ring-gai operates no tip of its own - council's own page lists only the 'waste management centres closest to Ku-ring-gai'. The realistic pathway is Kimbriki at Ingleside, whose own price list charges asbestos at $600 per tonne with a $15 minimum for up to 20kg, and requires it double-wrapped in heavy builders plastic in 20kg parcels. That is an operator figure, not a council one. Ku-ring-gai's own asbestos page carries removal and precaution advice rather than a nominated drop-off point.
Mattresses
Mattresses of all sizes are accepted free in the four annual 3m3 council clean-up bookings, which is the cheapest route. At Kimbriki the operator price list charges $60 each with a maximum of six per customer.
Batteries
Free. Council runs a 'never bin a battery' campaign and directs residents to Community Recycling Centres and Chemical CleanOut events for household and car batteries at no cost. Kimbriki's price list also lists household and rechargeable batteries free in domestic quantities up to 2 litres, and embedded-battery items free up to 60 litres or 20kg.
Paint and chemicals
Free. Paint is excluded from the kerbside clean-up as hazardous waste, and is instead taken free through Chemical CleanOut events and Community Recycling Centres. Kimbriki's price list accepts paint free to a maximum of 100 litres per transaction with individual containers no larger than 20 litres.
Council rules
Do you need a permit for a skip bin in Ku-ring-gai, NSW?
✓
Private property
On your own driveway or property: no permit is needed. That covers most bookings in Ku-ring-gai.
!
Public land / road
On the Public place. Council's form is titled 'Application for Placement of Skip Bin in Public Place' and works from the Local Government Act's 'public place' concept; the terms 'nature strip' and 'verge' were not found in the council skip material located., footpath or road: yes, a council permit is required. Yes, and Ku-ring-gai is unusually strict about it. A skip on any public place needs an approval under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW), and council's own form states the approval is not available where the waste container can be located on private property - the applicant has to demonstrate that no onsite storage alternative exists. In practice a Ku-ring-gai householder with a usable driveway will be told to use it.
Ku-ring-gai, NSW Council — Skip Bin Permit
- Permit name
- Approval for the Placement of a Skip Bin (waste storage container) in a Public Place, granted under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) and the Local Government (General) Regulation 2021 (NSW).
- Cost
- Council's own form says only that fees follow the adopted schedule and does not state an amount. The ABLIS listing for this approval (SECONDARY SOURCE, not council's own domain) publishes 2025-26 fees of $175.00 for a non-urgent approval taking over 24 hours and $285.00 where approval is needed within 24 hours, plus a licence fee per week or part thereof of $180.00 for a 0-6m3 bin, $177.00 for a 6-10m3 bin and $345.00 for a bin over 10m3, and $109.00 to vary an existing approval. Treat these as indicative: they are secondary, they are 2025-26 rather than the current year, and the listing shows the 6-10m3 weekly rate ($177.00) as slightly lower than the 0-6m3 rate ($180.00), which looks like an error in the schedule as transcribed. Confirm with council before quoting a customer.

Where the bin can and cannot go in Ku-ring-gai, NSW
Council’s section 68 form sets out the most detailed placement regime of the five. Public liability insurance of at least $20 million per individual claim is required, with Ku-ring-gai Council named on the policy indemnifying it against claims. A site plan drawn at 1:100 must accompany the application. The applicant must nominate the type of safety lights or reflectors and the type of barricades to be used. The form frames acceptable container dimensions as 3.0 to 5.4 metres long, 1.5 to 2.5 metres wide and 1.0 to 2.0 metres high. Unobstructed access to public utility service pits must be maintained at all times, and regard must be had to the protection of council assets including street trees. Critically, the approval will not be granted where the container could instead be placed on private property. Numeric footpath clearance widths, kerb setbacks, a maximum standing period and any neighbour notification requirement were NOT FOUND.

Ku-ring-gai has the most expensive and most restrictive kerbside regime of the five: on the ABLIS 2025-26 figures a street skip costs $175 to $285 in approval fees plus $180 to $345 per week in licence fees, so roughly $355 to $630 of council charges before the hire itself, and council can simply refuse if the bin would fit on the driveway. That pushes almost all demand into driveway placement, where no approval is needed and the marketplace competes purely on bin price. Below about 3m3 of clean household goods the four free council clean-ups per year beat any paid option outright, so the addressable jobs are renovation and demolition waste - exactly what the clean-up excludes - where the alternative is Kimbriki at $505 per tonne with a $60 minimum and a drive to Ingleside.
